I wonder if the other manufacturers could do the same without breaking the Google Play Services license agreement...

I also heard some rumors about a similar compatibility layer on the next Windows Phone/Mobile, so things could get quite interesting in the future (or it could kill Windows Phone/Mobile once and for all ).
Also, KDE are working on a project called Shashlik, which intends to bring an Android compatibility layer to Linux.

It's very early days yet, so who knows whether it'll pan out, or whether it'll be feasible to run it on a phone. But that would muddy the waters even further...
