However exciting this is, I wonder how the support and future development will be accounted for. Porting an application is probably easy but the moment android adds a feature that is not supported by the Microsoft abstraction, you are either opting to choose the least common feature set or are maintaining two separate code bases. Both very unfavorable outcomes.

I love windows phone and don't really miss many applications on it but I know many people do. Hope this fixes it.

Usually you can't really use cutting edge features anyway as the devices run older OS version (at least that's common in the case of Android)

Actually, Google Play Services dynamically adds or updates new features on older OS versions too (Maps etc). So this is not an issue now.
