As Drupal 7 has entered code-freeze, I would like to ask the future direction of APK. Will there be a D7 version? Will there be a difference in functionality with D6 version? As fields are inside the core now, I suspect its behavior will be different. For example, profiles are stored as nodes in D6 version. Therefore, when a user creates a profile, it is shown the user profile as a node as if the user has created a new content in the site. Will it be the same in D7?

I talked to fago this morning and it sounds as though the "profiles as nodes" solution will end with D6 unless someone else picks it up. Personally, I'll be focusing on converting to the new D7 profile which uses normal fields. APK will continue to not care what you use to store the data; you can use either nodes or core profile now.

I don't expect there to be a D7 version of APK for quite some time. I'm not even going to think about porting it until CTools, Panels, and Views are ported.

Can I install the 6.x version under drupal 7? Or should I stick with the user profile that shipped with D7?

D6 modules won't work in D7. There are D7 versions of CTools, Panels, and Views, though, if you want to have a go at doing it from scratch. No Content Profile, though, that I'm aware of.

Is there a way to migrate data from APK to profile 2, or drupal core fields?

APK doesn't store any data so that question doesn't make any sense. You would need to ask in the queue of whatever module you used to hold your profile data.
