We've seen Macs running Windows, and apparently, we will one day see Windows Mobile phones running BlackBerry applications as well.
Based on the latest info, the BlackBerry Application Suite is designed to work on top of the Windows Mobile operating system and is indeed real. It will allow BlackBerry email, PIN messaging, calendars, task, address book and memo functionality to work without a hitch as if it were actually running on a RIM device. However, as good as it sounds, it's far from being perfect. GPS, Bluetooth and WiFi are not accessible through the application and phone calls will have to be routed through Windows Mobile. Likewise, video playback is not supported and some applications may not also work properly with VGA resolution. That's a lot of drawbacks just to that will definitely make you think twice if you really want to have the BlackBerry OS working on Windows Mobile.
Here's a short video showing off the BlackBerry Application Suite in action.
The BlackBerry Application Suite is estimated to be 32MB in size and is based on OS 4.2.1. There's still no release date available, but it seems that they're nearing the finish line based on the video, leaked images and details now available on the interweb. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that when the final version does go live they would have found a way to address all those flaws we just mentioned earlier so that it indeed be a groundbreaking app worth using.
