Compatible with cousin Android?

Open Mobile has developed an Application Compatibility Layer that allows Tizen to run Android apps. And the company has made the lofty claim that its technology will do this with 100% compatibility, as if the apps are running on the Google OS. We’re dubious, since other companies that have been developing such software to run Android on other platforms, like the impressive BlueStacks, have trouble presenting a flawless experience.
