This from September isn't very encouraging: RIM releases list of Android-on-PlayBook no-nos | ITProPortal.com [my bold]
Presenting at Droidcon, part of the Eastern European Mobile Monday Developer Summit being held in Romania today, RIM engineers explained that there are several features which will be unavailable when Android apps are run on the PlayBook.

Key features which will be unavailable to Android apps running under the compatibility layer on the PlayBook and future BlackBerry devices include Android's famed battery-sucking Live Wallpaper, SIP and SIP VoIP, anything built using the Native Development Kit, apps containing only App Widgets, and apps containing more than one activity tied to the Launcher.

In addition, any packages which rely on Google Maps, in-app billing services, Android's text-to-speech engine, or the cloud-to-device messaging system will all be rendered unusable under the company's runtime system.

Methinks that Droid apps for the Android player on the PB are blocked from VOIP.
I would love to see a straight up native PB app.
I eagerly await the app for my Torch 9800 and would love a PB app as well.
