Default Re: Android Player for PlayBook leaked

I downloaded it.

Summary;

Looks like it still needs work.

Once it opens (some have reported needing to reset PB a few times) you swipe down (Menu swipe) you get a little bar at the bottom that says "Set Home View"

This then gives you options for Blank, Recent Tasks (Default), Installed Applications and Running Tasks.

Selecting Installed Applications gives you an Android menu.

From here, you literally are using Android.

Settings, Messeging (though texting won't work obviously), Email (I successfully added my work Exchange account and now have native e-mail on the PlayBook!), Clock, Phone (wouldn't work obviously), Contacts, Camera (crashes, needed to force quit within Android), Calendar, Browser (works fine, a little slow), Gallery, Downloads, Dev Tools and Calculator.

To go back from most places you use two fingers at the bottom bezel and swipe left (or right supposedly)

Pretty xxxxing cool!
