Disappointedly, RIM PlayBook Android app has its limits

RIM Has just anounced that its newset tablet Playbook will not support apps that use Google in-app purchasing system, while the cloud-to-device messaging system is also unusable in RIM implementation of the runtime. Android Live Wallpapers will not be supported, and nor will anything built using the Android Native Development Kit. Also Android apps that consist of more than a single activity tied to the launcher will not run either.

The confirmation comes as a blow to those hoping Android app support could prove the PlayBook salvation, at least until RIM boosted its QNX device range.
