ASUS cans dual Android Windows 8 Tablet

ASUS halts their dual Android Windows 8 Tablet after pressure from Google. This regards the Transformer Book Duet TD300, due to resistance from Google, according to a Chinese-language Economic. Asustek originally planned to start marketing the TD300 in Asia and Europe in the first quarter of 2014, and in the US in the second quarter, the paper said.

The impact on Asustek will be limited since the project has not been implemented, noted the paper. Asustek declined to comment on market reports, the paper added - via DigiTimes.

Understandable really, Google wouldn't want the bad press following the inevitable exploitation of a Windows->Android attack vector. Oh and money.

It's well known that Google is less than happy with Microsoft for not coding in HTML5. No surprises they are not happy about a dual boot.
