I ported my SDL/C++ DJ app DJPad from HP TouchPad to Android, and then to PlayBook. It took less than a week to do the port and on the first day of sales, it outsold 2 months of Android sales in a single day and continues to outsell Android by about 2 to 1.
Without any press it did about $300+/day for the first 3-4 days, then drifted down to about $30/day where it is still selling at that rate a month and a half later.
I also got a free PlayBook out of the deal as it was during a "write a new app for BlackBerry and we ship you a free PlayBook" offer.
