Can I install window phone apps in the Window 8?

[dw852]

Hi there,
I am thinking to buy a Lenovo Miix 2. But I just wonder whether I can install windows phone apps in this machine or not? Nokia Here map is very useful for me. Is it possible to install this map in the Window 8 devices? And the machine got gps so I can use the map offline, right?

Thanks.

If you want HERE Maps on a tablet, you could get the Lumia 2520, which has exclusive rights for HERE Maps on a Windows Tablet. It runs RT not the full Windows 8, but both OS's use the same Store apps.
