Android absorption into Windows Phone 7

Its not surprising though for me but more of shocking... Yet the shock pulsing my nerves is energizing... Its about the Windows Phone 7 inter interoperability feature with Android APi's. Now , what is this ??? Well.. If you could guess... Its good.. Yet.. I would give a short over view right here.. It is all about consuming the Android Api's into the Windows Phone 7 and developing an app. One way to start positive is Microsoft all its starting from Gingerbread specific Api's. Its almost in the beginning. Now, how the ecosystem of developers and consumers are going to be benifitted?? time to market a WP7 app would be shorter.. Developers need not undergo learning a stressful new set of platform specific APi's and of-course, you get a solid build in libraries developed by Google which need not be re-invented by Windows..
something quite similar though not exactly is what i heard Blackberry trying out to get the existing Android apps ported into BB devices.. Lets see how far we see this adoption.. For me, i see a bright horizon though.
