During our BlackBerry World Developer podcast with RIM's Chris Smith and Mike Kirkup, we talked about the different development options available for the BlackBerry PlayBook and some of the factors developers will want to look at in deciding which SDK to use.

Check out the video above and you'll see Tim Neil from RIM whip together a basic CrackBerry.com app in 3 minutes. Impressive. While the PlayBook's web browser does a solid job of loading CrackBerry.com, I'm starting to think it's time we build a kick ass CrackBerry app for the PlayBook. What do you guys and gals think?
