Is canonical reconsidereing support for android apps on ubuntu touch?

It seems like we are going to have ubuntu touch powered devices in the near time.


Even though I'm willing to have an ubuntu powered device I find it pretty hard for a new competitor in the mobile arena to succeed if it doesn't have lots of apps, and the only way I see this could be achieved in the near feature is supporting android apps. Besides, there are some apps that are clear deal-breaker for many, like whatsapp, facebook, etc.


Jolla seems to think so, and being open source Ubuntu Touch could benefit from all their work supporting android apps.


So I was wondering if Canonical is considering adding support for android apps.
