Do i get more apps if i were to update from windows 8.1 to windows 10 especially for smartphone?  I think windows is a nice platform to use but unfortunately they can never match up with android and IOS on apps.  I saw an article by installing windows 10, we can run most of the android apps.  Am i correct?

The feature of running Android apps in Windows 10 Mobile is codenamed Project Astoria and officially, it was meant to make it easy for Android app developer to port their Android app to the Windows 10 Mobile platform.

Basically, using this tools, all that Android app developer have to do in order to have their app on the WP App Store is submit their app's APK to the store and store will automatically make it compatible with the W10M with little to no effort from the developer required.

This feature was meant for developer use only, it was never intended to be use by the normal user. However, some users was able exploit the feature and figure out how to manually sideload Android app on Windows 10 Mobile. Unfortunately, not all Android app will work as illustrated on this spreadsheet here or here.

I am waiting for Lumia 750 dual sim. Hopefully a mid-range device will be announced in the coming months. However, I also read that the models announced this week could be the last Lumias. Only a few seconds of the event were given over to the budget Lumia 550. As far as hardware is concerned, it seems clear Microsoft is focussed on premium devices. A Surface Mobile is surely on the way, though beyond the flagships and premium devices we need other OEMs to fill the gaps opening up in Microsoft's product range. I'd be happy to see Windows 10 Mobile devices soon from Samsung and XiaoMi. It is yet another waiting game, since Windows 10 Mobile is still on the way.

Build 10549 is released for Fast Ring

Windows Insider head Gabriel Aul posted the list of the fixed problems in build 10549:

-The Windows Camera app no longer crashes when certain applications launch it to capture a picture.
-We fixed an issue where the touch keyboard would get dismissed every time you sent a message, which made sending 2+ texts in quick succession difficult.
-We fixed an issue where swiping away a notification was causing the notification icon to appear top of your screen.
-Screenshots were not being properly saved resulting in many top social messenger apps such as WeChat, WhatsApp, LINE, WeiBo, and QQ unable to find saved screenshots. This has been fixed.
-We fixed an issue where you couldn't cannot launch apps saved on SD cards after reinserting your SD card.
-Pinch to zoom should work properly in the Maps app now.
-We fixed an issue where trying to set a custom ring or text tone for a contact shows a black screen for 10 seconds, then does nothing.
-We have added back vibrate-only alarms.
-We have fixed call-blocking.

This new build can only be updated from 8.1, so if you are already on Windows 10 Mobile you will need to roll back first

There could be a new build which can updated from 10536 very soon according to Gabriel Aul

We need to roll back to 8.1 to get build 10572. This will not be necessary for build 10575 which may come out next week.

Tested Windows Mobile 10 on my Lumia 640XL
Disappointed as it fail to even detect my Samsung 128 GB Card. Took out the card and reinsert/restart phone still same issue
I than plug in a 64 GB Sandisk and card is now detected but apps just failed to install onto the ext sdcard
Now reverted fully back to 8.1
Hope the official version will not have such issues
The WM10 however does indeed looks more polished and classier
