I don't get it. If one wants to run Android apps why not just get an Android device? They are available right now in a wide range of form factors, hardware capabilities and price points.

I don't see anything wrong with it at all, even if you could go out and get a dedicated device based on Android. The more the better, really, especially if you're a commercial developer.

here is my conundrum:
The N9 product page does not list the UK as a target market, alongside quite a few other western european nations as well as the US.
A Nokian on Nokia Conversations has said that the N9 will still be available in those markets through third parties.
Will the N9 be available on contract in the UK if the UK is not a target market?
Anyone who can answer this will earn my undieing gratitude.

Android apps will be available by the end of the year on the N9 through Alien Dalvik system.
This is what we are talking about…

There will be no Alien Dalvik on the N9.
Perhaps some Android developers might port their apps with it, but due to the small market size, I doubt it. Look how many apps were ported with AD to the N900 (hint: 0).
Besides, Nokia is WP7 from now on. Why would they even think of doing that?

I am not worried about this. Nokia might not list them as countries in a drop down list but that means little right now. It must have to do with Nokia closing their stores and providing a direct shop to customers. I believe they will use operators to sell the device - 3rd Party approach. No way would they leave the most profitable markets in europe out of a new device, especially a premium (haha) device as the N9.
