UPDATE: A popular misconception is that you need to be a developer in order to port. That is NOT the case.

My advice was for general public who like just to download a zipfile and flash it to their device for instant gratification
Not everybody wants to set up 35 gigs of disk space for a build machine and follow thru HADK to do it...

Or if you really think so please define "developer" for me, please. In my books a developer is someone who creates something new or enhances something existing.

At this rate, not sure if that means that things will gain momentum or if it'll remain a niche product.

I don't know how big they have to be to survive, hopefully they can sustain what they are doing now (if not, it was a bad plan to begin with - their unique selling point is quite niche!).

if the latest information from a 'trusted source' of Android Police proves accurate, with the source claiming that the smaller Pixel handset will start at $649 (around £500/AU$860), with the larger Pixel XL likely to cost even more.
You can't afford a sailfish phone but you can afford a pixel phone at these prices...?
