Android Market, Android Native Email and Google Apps on the BlackBerry PlayBook

I made a small mistake: the putty tool used to convert keys is called puttygen and is not included with dingleberry. You can download it along with putty itself at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/. Use this to convert the file named "rsa" in your dingleberry folder to a .ppk file which putty and winscp and similar tools can use. You can then log in to your root with these tools using "root" as the username and the .ppk file that you made as authentication.

The instructions on how to enable google apps on the BlackBerry PlayBook can be found at http://pastie.org/2974406. I'll make a video covering these instructions at some point.

xpvqs (http://twitter.com/xpvqs) helped me out a fair bit in getting this to work.

I got a PB yesterday and I dont have my own wifi (i pick up neighbors in my apartment with a wifi antenna to my laptop) and i use ad hoc when im using my ipod to work with wifi but the PB doesnt work with ad hoc so if i root it is there a way to allow it to recognize an ad hoc network and share an internet connection?

@andrewt116 After you've done it you can restore your blackberry to it's original factory settings, so even if it did, you can undo it. :P

Do u have angry birds from android? i tried it crashed for me

[infinityprodinc]

the only reason people get apple products is because they can jailbreak it. Now RIM is realizing this. I bet RIM let this come out so they get more people interested.

@downphoenix I've been running 2.0 for a couple weeks now and I haven't encountered any bugs or anything yet. Pretty stable for me.
