They could get Android apps working on Windows Phone OS, rather than this. Microsoft is useless these days.


I doubt that will ever happen, and I hope it doesn't. I'd much prefer to see proper ports of Android and iOS apps, rather than some Frankenstein style compatibility layer.


Blackberry tried this. Even on QNX, which is a POSIX OS, it took significant amounts of work and last I checked was still pretty buggy.

Sailfish has had much better luck, no doubt due to running on top of the Linux kernel however.
