Oh, wow, this is supposed to be heavily forked so it's unlikely to be compatible with most Android apps. I don't know what Nokia is thinking -- part of the appeal of Android is its cross-compatibility. Fork it too much and it might as well not be Android at all. Best of luck to Nokia, but I don't think this is going to go over very well. I mean, if even well established OSs like Blackberry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, and the sadly defunct Palm OS had a hard time against the Android and IOS strongholds, I don't see this new FrankenOS having much luck. Might make for a good collector's item for mobile enthusiasts, though. Gotta catch 'em all!

Wa ta kbw. It's heavily forked but in the end still Android powered. So wa jd ta kbw. We'll just have to wait til it actually releases.

Chue kau nga fact boss. Microsoft makes 1.6 billion dollars per year from Android. More than 5 times it made from their windows phones.

Update sa Nokia X.

There will be no Google core apps.

I guess Google Play Store compatibility is out. That's going to severely limit the app availability of the Nokia X. If there's one thing that makes or breaks a mobile platform, it's developer support. Nokia is going to need something to draw in the devs if they want their new platform to succeed.
