Huh. I thought that you had to download the PlayBook SDK (software development kit) and use that to convert the Android .APK into a BlackBerry .BAR file in order for it to work?

I guess, it's mainly high-end games, that will push the tablets to their limits. There are some impressive games for iOS and Android, you won't find on PlayBook for example.
But personally, I still have to say: I never would play a high-end game on a touchscreen unit. I'd always prefer physical controllers such as PS3 or XBOX do offer. And from your description I didn't deem games that important.
Eh. It has Angry Birds. That's more than enough. ;P (well, except for Angry Birds Star Wars, which is sad-making)
