Recent Blackberry versions also have an Android compatibility layer.
- sirkneeland 13y agoNot all Android compatibility layers are created equal. BB10.0 shipped with an Android environment that could only run up to Android 2.3... And considering the power under the hood of the Z10, it was really laggy. And submitting them to BlackBerry World required the developer to modify it from a .apk to a .bar. What matters is how big the barriers to entry are for getting Android apps on. Both for developers and users. Jolla can improve on this, and IIRC the Jolla Harbour won't be the only way of putting apps on the device, Jolla said there would be a 3rd party android app store. And of Course, locking it down to a single app repo doesn't really fit with Jolla's vision of openness ;)
