I took a further look this morning. It is impossible (almost) to get
Android apps without going via Google Play. In order to use Google
Play, you have to give a Google login, and that means a Google account
with all the information grabbing they do. The outside sources (Amazon
is one), have a very limited range of apps, most of which are not for
serious work.
I've looked at both Tizen, and Sailfish
Maybe that's a good reason for Ubuntu's lack of enthusiasm for an
Android layer.
