When you talk about BlackBerry 10 on the BlackBerry PlayBook, it's sure to cause some commotion. When you go posting images of BlackBerry 10 running on the BlackBerry PlayBook, it's sure to cause an even bigger commotion. With that in mind, there have been a few images appearing here and there with BlackBerry 10 running on the PlayBook. Now, before everyone loses their minds over them let me say this. Yes, they're legit -- but only kind of. Ever since BlackBerry 10 was in beta form, people have been trying to load it onto their PlayBooks.
Some OS builds were somewhat working while others crashed and burned immensely. CrackBerry Forums user, Kyle27 has been playing around with the OS and thus far, has been quite successful with getting it to load, even getting so far as to have BBM and various other things up and running. Yes, even making it past that boot screen that everyone got just a little too excited over seeing. But it hasn't been an easy process and right now, the full details of that process haven't been outlined either.
In any case, yes the images you're seeing around are BlackBerry 10 running on the BlackBerry PlayBook but it's not in anyway an official. Sorry if that bursts anybody's bubble but again, it's all experimental right now and there is no telling how far along Kyle27 and others willing to help him out can get. If you're looking to see some more screenshots of it all in action, you can jump on into the CrackBerry Forums for a closer look.

Currently, as far as we know, another PlayBook isn't on the cards anytime soon for BlackBerry. That doesn't stop our CrackBerry forum members from wanting a new and improved BlackBerry 10 tablet though. Andreas Kimishis1 has come up with yet another concept and I must say that it looks glorious. Since BlackBerry confirmed that the original PlayBook would not a get BlackBerry 10 update...

Sky Drone aims to give BlackBerry 10 device and PlayBook remote aerial viewing
An Indiegogo campaign recently kicked off for Sky Drone FPV, a project which would allow users to remotely view from an unmanned aerial vehicle via BlackBerry 10 device or PlayBook. Rather than relying on traditional image relay techniques which are subject to a lot of interference, the Sky Drone uses a 3G and LTE modem to send its image to the BlackBerry. Users will be able to record...
