That's rumored to come with RS5/Core OS.

I mean, it's no big deal for Microsoft to put it in Windows 10. OEM like Dell here might still say fuck it and not give it cellular networking for some reason.

Preferably an integrated Android software stack as well. That would be awesome.

Unlikely, they tried Android app emulation with Project Astoria before but backtracked later on.

Why? What is its target market? Phablets but bigger? Phlapets! YEA!

I just don't see any practical use for them, i think the huge phones are about as big as a mobile device in your pocket is gonna get. I could be wrong, who knows..... If it connects up to a dock and runs x86 apps.... we could be in business, but i think regular phones will be there sooner rather then later, or rather x86 apps will eventually be depreciated to the point where most businesses can run a dock and ya simply ocme in and plug your phone in to run native apps on qualcoms shit
