If I go to the android market on a device with a 800*600 screen, and download angry birds, it will work and will be properly scaled.

If I then go and buy angry birds in the android market on a device with a 1280*720 screen, it will be scaled properly.

The developers of android apps knows that there are MANY different resolutions using Android, therfore they program the apps to support all the known Android resolutions.

The N9's resolution is going to be one of the many supported android resoltuions meaning the apps will scale correctly.


TBH developers would benefit from this as they would get a few thousand more people buying their apps! Its not like we will be able to go and buy paid apps for free. We will just have access to the Android/Amazon Market and will be able to download and install free apps, as well as purchase the paid ones.

Meaing Google will also get money from app sales, so no real reason for them to hate, also theres no legality issues as Android is mostly open sourced, meaning legally this can work.

As for porting Symbian, nobody wants an OS that has been designed for buttons and then just messed with for touch support on our N9's... Also Symbian apps are not the focus for developers so we would ONLY get the old apps, and none of the new games/streaming services/social apps.

This will (if it happens) make our N9's pretty much the perfect device as App's is probably the largest area the N9 is lacking.

Things like Instagram, a DECENT Facebook and Twitter app, updated Firefox with the UI or even Chrome Browser, BBC iPlayer ect..
