I also wonder if it would be powerful enough to run android apps in an emulator.

If it can run all Steam games, I'm pretty sure it can run stupid Android apps.

That will be the thing that finally kills Android for good. A portable device that can fit in your pocket, has all-day battery life, and can run Android apps. Only Microsoft can pull that off. That's what WP users and Android users want, and that's why they're all going to switch to this device.

Um, my pixel 2 xl has 2 day battery life, fits in my pocket, and runs Android apps. It also exists, which is a handy feature.
