BlackBerry PlayBook will run Android apps by 'late fall,' later than expected

RIM previously announced that its PlayBook tablet would be able to run Android apps by the summer, but we've just heard something to the contrary. A reliable source told us that this highly anticipated feature of the BlackBerry slate now won't arrive until "late fall." With RIM struggling against ever-stronger competition, delays like this are bad news -- the PlayBook needs this new lease of Android life as soon as possible.
