Some new images of the first Android app to be ported to Windows 10 mobile are now with us, revealing that Project Astoria has improved to an advanced stage.
As in, developers can now port their apps.
Microsoft announced some exciting changes for Windows Phone users earlier this year, confirming that Android and iOS developers can port their apps to the Windows 10 Mobile platform — with only minor code optimizations.
And now some screenshots of what seem to be the first Android app ported to Microsoft’s mobile OS have made their way to the public.
Hard to confirm just how legitimate these are, but they certainly seem real on closer inspection:
The images do not show much, other than the fact that a Chinese app is running on Windows 10 Mobile, with a live tile placed on the Start Screen. But this is, more or less, a confirmation that Microsoft has improved Astoria and taken the platform to the next level.
Redmond is expected to finalize all work on this in a couple of months from now, when Windows 10 Mobile hits the market, sometimes this October.
Developers will, the, be able to port their apps and games to the Windows platform, and hopefully we are treated to a lot of these apps once the new operating system is here. Exciting times!
