I think this would be absolutely fantastic, one of my biggest reservations with owning a windows phone is the lack of apps from nz developers such as banking apps etc, however this means there will be even less incentive for developers to make native wp apps, so, the whole live tile feel might be lost, so could be a double edged sword

It would kill windows phone in no time. No developer would bother to develop for the platform and that would make the OS worthless.

I don't think Microsoft would risk it.

Lol Eldar Murtizan.

Even if it was true it would only be the 3rd party stores, not the full Play Store. Same as the Nokia X range.

He's been close to the mark in the past with his "predictions".

If it happens, I'm guessing you're right with the 3rd party stores, like the Nokia X.

how about some WP hardware that would dual boot into Android, would that interest you enough to buy one?
