Thats the Z Launcher which Nokia had released months back for Android.
But that does not mean the Android OS will be updated.

This is correct.
It will be a good thing if Nokia or someone else creates and alternative for Android Play Store.
There are alternatives for Android Play Store already. The Chinese have several, there is the one from Amazon, ... There is no reason to think one by Nokia would be any more different or successful than those.
The biggest problem with all other stores is that they dont come pre-installed on the device.
uh, even nexus devices only get two versions and then are abandoned.
the one and S only got two revisions of a single version even
Why is this a good thing? Does it mean that it's going to lag behind, and at some point stop running the latest version of Android leaving you with a device that can't be updated?
