Research In Motion puts its money behind event as it prepares to launch Android app emulation features.
The Android-focused Droidcon conference has signed up an unexpected sponsor: BlackBerry maker Research In Motion.
RIM has signed on as a gold sponsor for the event, which takes place on 6-7 October in London. A few months ago, this would have seemed like a crazy move.
However, RIM's reasoning is clear: it will soon launch a software update for its BlackBerry PlayBook tablet to allow the device to run Android apps using emulation technology.
"With Blackberry now on board for Droidcon 2011, we will be expecting interesting news and demos in London," explains the Droidcon blog. The news gives added spice to the conference, which also has backing from Cisco, BlueVia, Sony Ericsson, NOvoda, Pearson and Inneractive.
