Is it that special? Blackberry also talks about Android compatibility, Ubuntu talked about it, WeTab OS too.
If it is of any consequence depends on how well it works and how it is implemented (can you access the Google Play store to actually get applications directly? or is the compatibility layer just an alternative way for developers to port applications?)

It seems that Ubuntu is also working on tablets and phones for 2014. Even more competition for Jolla, and very little time for them to create a user base.

I want an open linux OS on my phone, tablet and desktop, so I like what Jolla is doing, but I have strong doubts if Sailfish OS have staying power even as a niche player.
