Android apps, WinPhone looks ?

Mobile World Congress: "Windroid" From Nokia; a Full-Touch E-Ink Russian Phone | MIT Technology Review

a tiled Windows Phone feel to the interface; Microsoft services like Skype and Outlook; and some solid Nokia services, such as its Here maps and Mix radio. Call it “Windroid.”
... but even as they use an operating system based on the Android Open Source Project, you can’t tap the million-plus apps in Google’s Play store, or get popular Google apps such as Gmail and Chrome. Developers can modify Android apps to run on the devices, and Nokia will offer “hundreds of thousands” of apps in its app store...

REST: REpresentational State Transfer

Fielding Dissertation: CHAPTER 6: Experience and Evaluation:

"The name "Representational State Transfer" is intended to evoke
an image of how a well-designed Web application behaves:
a network of web pages (a virtual state-machine),
where the user progresses through the application by selecting links (state transitions),
resulting in the next page (representing the next state of the application)
being transferred to the user and rendered for their use."
