In pictures: Free Android apps for BlackBerry PlayBook, 10 best downloads

RIM recently released a major software update for its BlackBerry PlayBook that enables it to run Android applications. Android-on-the-PlayBook pickings are somewhat slim right now, but there are some quality apps out there if you know where to look, starting with these 10 great free downloads.

Amazon Kindle for BlackBerry PlayBook

I'm a voracious reader, and I've been dying for an Amazon Kindle app for PlayBook ever since Amazon said it would deliver one way back in September 2010. Unfortunately, the company still hasn't made good on its promise. And though I've been using the online Kindle Cloud Reader with my PlayBook for some time, I'm thrilled to finally have access to a Kindle for PlayBook app that lets me read while offline, take and save notes and much more. And the Android app runs like a charm on RIM's tablet.
