so now the playbook can run android apps. Exactly how is this possible and can a similar approach be used to get android apps on the touchpad?

There is a android emulator app that was built specifically for the playbook. BlackBerry knew that the would not be able to win the app race, so they built what they call an android player.

Some people talked about making an android player for webos, i think if you search around the forums you will find conversations about it.

It is NOT an emulator when you have the actual source code.

RIM ported the android dalvik engine to QNX.
