The bummer is that it isn't a Windows 10 phone running a bunch of Android apps. I was hoping that was the case, as it would indicate that perhaps Android apps would finally be simple to use on all Windows 10 machines without running an emulator. MS was pushing that at one point, but they gave it up. I was hoping the Surface Duo indicated a reignition for that project.

That may yet happen but not this decade.
As ZDNET said, MS is looking into making android apps run on Windows but the downside might be too big.
(They don't want to end up like OS/2.)
It's like the screen: it's pretty clear they want a folding screen but the tech isn't up to their requirements so they're doing dual screens for the first releases.
