Remember the Transformer Book Duet convertible Asus announced at CES? The 13.3" system runs Windows 8.1 and Android 4.2.2 on the same Haswell hardware, and it's supposed to be capable of "seamlessly" switching between the two operating systems. The concept sounds intriguing, especially if it can be applied to smaller Bay Trail devices with better battery life than the Duo's claimed 5-6 hours. However, Chinese site Economic Daily News reports that Google objects to Android and Windows running on the same machine. The English translation is a little rough, but it sounds like Google may prevent the hybrid Transformer from ever being released.
