I just tried taking the v.0.8.6_768.apk release, and ran the apk2bar tool from the Blackberry tools on the developer site, and side loaded it onto my playbook using the Playbook NDK tools.
It is kind of working -- I am going to try and load the original .apk onto an android phone tomorrow to see if the things that aren't working are because of the remote app / my xbmc build, or Android Player on my playbook.
Listen to Music works great -- I get my whole music library with cover art etc, and can play songs/albums fine.
TV shows and Movies reports that nothing is found.
Picture works too, but the first time I tried to open it, it timed out or something. I exited the app and started it again, and this time it worked fine.
Now Playing works in that it shows the cover art and song info, but the controls don't do anything (play pause etc.)
The "use as remote" doesn't work either. Would be nice to have a better skin too since the screen is bigger and high res
So we're getting there at least
Oh ya, my xbmc box is running 10.1.
It would be great if when Playbook 2.0 officially comes out in february, this app can be offiicially added to Appworld.
