The idea of ACL strengthens the Android ecosystem and weakens the native harmattan ecosystem (because people may no longer develop things that are already available via ACL). I see no benefit. There is a reason why I don't use my Android phone....
If I wanted crappy Android apps on my phone I have bought a damn Android device instead. If it even works it will be slow and eating CPU because android is bloated.. Then people will cry about "how bad HW N9 has" So no this is not "excellent news" Excelent news is when we get Qt5 from the FOSS community. And hopefully a last update PR1.3 from Nokia. Please move this thread to Android fanboys subforum.
