I have to wonder, why Android? Why not other alternatives? Like FxOS? Or both?
Exactly. I would want FxOS on it. But the truth is, apps will still be a major problem, the one which plagues it right now.
Because those are just like WP8, strategy wise, but worse (even smaller ecosystems). They need Android to truly succeed.

SailfishOS (your newest vaporware on the block) can apparently run Android APKs. And if it’s remotely similar to Meego Harmattan, I am more than sold.
Didn’t Lenovo want to start a phone business?
