Microsoft “mulls bringing Android apps to Windows Phone”January 21, 2015 - 11:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Microsoft is reportedly mulling over the possibility of bringing Android apps to its Windows Phone platform, Digital Spy said. A former employee with the computing giant has apparently let the news slip during an interview with The Information. Windows Phone has struggled to make a dent in the market share of iOS and Android, and its comparative shortage of apps is often cited as the root cause of this. Microsoft is said to be considering adding support for native Android apps as a solution, but is aware of the potential pitfalls. The move could discourage developers from creating native Windows Phone apps, further stunting the operating system's growth. Microsoft is expected to outline the future of Windows Phone at its Windows 10 event tomorrow (January 21).
