Wednesday, February 15, 2012:
Research in Motion (RIM) has extended its free PlayBook offer for Android app developers till 2 March 2012. Alec Saunders, vice president of RIM, started this offer earlier saying that developers just need to port an app to RIM's tablet operating system (OS) and they have until 13 February to repackage and submit the app to the Blackberry App World. Now it seems that either RIM did not get the expected response or they are marketing for something big. This is the reason why the Canadian device maker has prolonged its free Playbook offer in order to lure more developers.
RIM also asked India application developers to be a part of the programme. Free PlayBook tablets will be given to Indian counterparts likewise.

RIM said on Tuesday, "Today was going to be the deadline for the offer--but due to the overwhelming interest in the offer, we're extending it one more time. There have been over 1,500 app submissions as of last Friday and over 6,600 new developers registered in the BlackBerry App World storefront."
Annie Mathew, head of alliances and developer relation at RIM India, said that providing free PlayBooks to Indian application developers will help them port and test the applications on BB platform and help the company add more Android-based applications to the list in return.
Now it's quite obvious that RIM will extend the deadline for Indian developers as well since the international programme is getting extended by a couple of weeks.
