"Nokia Lumia Android device was not only a possibility, it was real. "
The contract with Microsoft was expiring in 2014, so if Microsoft didn't act as it did,
they could have lost a major manufacturer of Windows Phones...
So they almost didn't have a choice... Maybe that was Nokia plan anyway,
to force Microsoft to buy them...
And here is one crazy idea: how about running Android apps on a Windows Phone?
That should be possible with a little bit of tweaking...
Instant access to many apps, and a reason for developers to develop for both...
