We'd figured that RIM's ambitious (if not questionable) project to port the juiciest morsels of BlackBerry OS to a virtual machine running atop Windows Mobile was abandoned long ago, and for all we know, it has -- but the half-baked remnants of the undertaking are finally available thanks to the good folks at xda-developers. BlackBerry Application Suite (http://www.engadget.com/tag/BlackBerryApplicationSuite/), as its known, has finally found a proper home in a CAB file that's making the rounds on the forums, and it's apparently been bolted together with enough duct tape to work on an AT&T Fuze (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Fuze/). Well, "work" is a relative term -- you've apparently got to be on a BES server for it to work, you need to generate a valid PIN, and actuating the touchscreen requires a double-tap, but when you're ready to stop punishing yourself with this craziness, the cold comfort of WinMo is just a couple clicks away. If you think you need this, odds are you really just need a Storm2 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Storm2/), but hey, feel free to ruin your weekend trying to get this to work.BlackBerry Application Suite leaks, ready to corrupt a perfectly good WinMo phone (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/blackberry-application-suite-leaks-ready-to-corrupt-a-perfectly/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Fri, 12 Feb 2010 07:24:00 EST.
