What Will Happen to Android?

2•MrLey•9h ago

Many have heard the news that Google plans to block users from installing APKs not signed by Google. But Google hasn't changed its mind yet. I'm wondering if there are people here who know much more than we do. How do you plan to handle this situation if it's not a threat, but a real plan from Google?"
