Microsoft executives want free download Android apps on Windows Phone handsets like the Nokia Lumia 1020 (Allan Melo / TechTudo) According to a trusted source heard by some people within Microsoft as crucial to support Android apps to keep alive the Windows Phone ecosystem. After all, your shop is often criticized for its still small base of applications available for download.
The source also reveals that Android applications can be made available directly for download on Windows Phone Store, so the user would still log in with your Microsoft account and use the services cloud storage company. The strategy would therefore attract more consumers to Windows Phone with a greater range of apps, and keep them tied to the ecosystem through extra services like OneDrive, ancient SkyDrive, and other unique products.
However, the idea has generated controversy within the company, since part of the executive would be contrary to the proposal. According to them, the openness of the Android platform apps could cannibalize the platform, further away from the developers to the Windows Phone and Windows PC -. Would also be used Android apps on Windows 8, next to apps with “Metro” interface

A major problem of this initiative, by the user, would be the big difference of interface design between platforms. Although applications like Facebook have already abandoned once the guidelines of Windows Phone, it is difficult to think that idealized apps to run as different system could be easily adapted without loss of usability.

Rumors also suggest that Intel would be more interested in making Windows 8 compatible with Android programs. The goal would be to stop the PC market running Android and prevent the widespread adoption of the Bluestacks virtualization program, which recently sealed a partnership with AMD’s rival Intel in the chip market.
assumptions about support for Android apps on Windows Phone coming at a time when there seems to be increasingly likely that Nokia actually launch a smartphone running Google’s operating system, given recent leaks.
Even though it is a very modified version, the Nokia with Android, with a possible release of Robot Apps on Windows Phone, point to a potentially promising future between Microsoft and Google, rivals in almost every industry, from mobile and PCs by search engines.
Anyway, internal conversations would still be, according to a source heard by Verge , in the initial stage. We can only wait to see what the new CEO, Satya Nadella, and his advisor technology, Bill Gates, will decide on the future of Microsoft’s mobile platform.
