As of yesterday, the Wikipedia mobile app is now available for download in Blackberry AppWorld for the Playbook tablet:
https://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/105171/
For this initial release we've disabled the 'saved pages' functionality, but it should come back in a future release (saving/loading code should become more consistent after the API usage merges). GPS functionality for 'nearby' articles works fine.
Big thanks to the guys at RIM for submitting an appropriate build system and for helping with the review process!
In theory we should be able to port to recentish Blackberry handsets as well using the appropriate variant of the WebWorks SDK, so stay tuned!

Thanks Brion,
It's great to get another platform out there. I've gone ahead and added it to

Brion, this is great news!
Can you give me the user agent string? It would be good to start tracking this app.
