One developer has suddenly made this seem shockingly possible. He has ran numerous demos already, which CrackBerry confirms are legitimate. There are several restrictions to his genius method, but the fact that he has accomplished this feat in any manner is truly astounding.

Of course, this likely breaks at least a few of Apple's terms and conditions, so he'll have to brace for the wrath of a company hell-bent on full control. Even so, the potential of this discovery should excite BlackBerry fans everywhere.
