Those of us who grew up in the 1990s either as a small kid or as a teen, you would know that the era of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles also has this gaming craze known as Tamagotchi – which is a virtual pet that you ought to take care of, otherwise it would “die”, so to speak.

One of the main concerns of Nokia running a forked version of Android would be app availability. Nokia has reassured customers that 75% of Android apps will be compatible with their version of Android, while the remainder will require porting. Well the good news is that things have kicked off as it would seem that the Pebble app for Android devices has since been ported onto the Nokia XL.
