Jolla: Non-Android Phone With Android App Support

[KaterinaM]

I have just read that a Finnish company has announced a new smartphone which runs Sailfish OS but will support Android apps. Do you think it is the next step of Android invasion? )))
The first Jolla phone: 4.5-inch display, Android app compliant, 399 euros

Doesn't BB10 do basically this already?

How exactly does it support android apps?

I don't know how technically it is realised, but I have read that it will be able to rub Android apps. But it is still unknown whether it is to have Google Play support.

I saw this too. Look interesting. You can see it at jolla.com
It does say it runs android apps. Not sure how either.
Being a gadget geek I am very interested in the device. The device itself looks great.

You have to run an android app through almost like an "app factory" to Co vert it to bb10 format but it is very simple to do and requires minimal input.

Yes, which is why I'd definitely get the Z10 if I couldn't have an Android device.
