    Hardware & OS is just one side of the story. The fact that it does not support Play Store seems an unwise choice.

    Feels like it’s just replacing one locked in eco system for another.

    This will cause defiantly cause issues for users that are maybe not as tech savvy. Imagine my nan rolling up to a support kiosk asking for help with the Apps, or asking for that app that all the girls in the bowls club talk on? Yeah nah!

    Organisations will view this stack as a bit off the reserve and mostly likely will be hesitant to release APK. I like the App Lounge as another option. People like options, right?

    I feel that enabling Goggle Play on the device/OS will bring it as a major mainstream contender. Without it, it will remain in the realm similar to the Linux user base, limited to knowledgeable early adopters and highly proficient users.
