Microsoft sepertinya benar-benar berusaha Windows Phone nya bisa diterima,
sedang untuk Windows mengobati kekecewaan yang terlalu touch pada versi awal
sehingga sekarang untuk desktop pun diperhatikan. Tidak ada kata terlambat,
termasuk untuk memasukkan app android buat jalan di WP yang rumornya sedang
diusahakan Microsoft sambil memberikan jalan Nokia untuk mengeluarkan Nokia X
ber-android.
