Re: Two OSes, in the phone, why?

BB10 already runs apks, that's what people want them to do. Why would you want a proper BB phone to run Android in a hypervisor?

- so all the background stuff can run the battery down, hammer the Internet connection, and invade users' privacy?

- so users can hack it and put Play Services on it? I can't see Alan Sugar doing that, or most average users either.

BB are going to have to just knuckle down and make their own copy of Play Services like Amazon have done.

And as for running BB apps on Android, that's like building a castle in a swamp and expecting it not to sink.
