Microsoft has bet strong by Android: create an internal development team

Microsoft has decades of being one of the companies of technology more important in the world, but it is also one of the greatest that has changed the most throughout its history. From being virtually a monopoly in the desktop computers and laptops to irrelevant in the world of mobile computing.

Last year, we saw advertised a device that had as its main interest the have as Android operating system. We speak of the Surface Duo, a terminal with two screens that offers something different to what is currently viewed, or that we believe. This model has not yet been put up for sale and although it is expected that in this year, could be delayed.

Microsoft already has an internal team of Android development

It is important to note that even though Microsoft has used Android as a base I have also done numerous modifications in the system to adapt to the two screens of this terminal. These modifications have not been created by developers working within Microsoft, but that the corporation of Redmond your contract to an external company called Movial.

Microsoft explains how to create applications for the Surface Duo

The Surface Duo is the first device from the range Surface to incorporate Android, and Microsoft has explained how to create apps that take advantage of their potential.

This Finnish company software has several campuses throughout Europe and now the u.s. has confirmed that purchase one of them, located in Romania. In this way, the erstwhile subsidiary of the Finnish company becomes the internal department for Android development of the american company.

The intention is to create the updates of the operating system and the proper applications of the Surface Duo as well as the software that integrates the later models. It is rumored that Microsoft is already working on the Duo 2, but without having gone to the market the first we cannot say much for the second.

With this movement we see that the intention of Microsoft is betting very strong by the Android operating system for some of their devices. Obviously, Windows will remain the main core, but we are glad to see that the Surface with Android will not, in an experiment, punctual and that we will see new devices with this system in the future.
