Microsoft may be seriously looking at releasing Android powered Lumias after all, after the release of the Nokia X which was seen by many as a parting shot for the Microsoft acquired Nokia division



From Neowin:

There's not much more to go on other than this announcement, but we'll be updating this article as more information becomes available.

Not long ago, rumors started circulating about the idea of running Android apps on Windows Phone. Neowin has spoken with sources with first hand knowledge of Microsoft's plans, who told us that the company has considered this path.

There is merit to this idea too. Windows Phone is often lamented for its lack of support from developers for critical apps. Yes, many key apps may be available, but consider even a high-profile example like the official Twitter app, which is an embarrassment to the service when you compare it to what is available on Android or iOS.
