Re: Android compatibility would be a mistake
Why does everyone seem to think "drop in replacements for GMS stuff" is such an issue. CHINA HAS HAD THAT FOR YEARS!
They are not running Google's Android, and never have been. They've always been using AOSP on phones sold in China, using home grown mapping/search (Baidu) and their own app stores. If they wanted to clone Android they wouldn't have to do anything - they've already got that.
