RIM's mobile app platform is garbage compared to Apple's or even Google's.  An Android BlackBerry would be able to take advantage of the fast-growing Android app platform, and RIM wouldn't have to waste any money nurturing it.

As BlackBerry owner ( and having played with my wife's Google phone ) - I have to agree.

The reason I bought the BlackBerry is the nice ( for cell phone ) keyboard.
Everything else is inferior compared to the Android.

Switch to Android will help boost the market share of Android and help RIM on the applications side.
