Something about dual OS tablets

From 2010 till now, Android OS becomes the most popular operation system for smart mobile devices. And there are more and more apps with touching operation available in market. Facing the competition, Microsoft also launched the Windows 8 operation system with Metro touch interface. But both OS are very different. Android has better experience on touching operation, and there are more apps for Android OS. But for Windows 8 OS, it can be compatible with most software for laptop PC.

In fact, about 6 years ago, one tablet pc supplier in China has already launched one unit with Windows CE and Linux OS. And following that, another supplier also launched a unit with Windows 7 and Android OS. But as the software and hardware is not refined, such tablets are not welcome in market.

But everything was changed in 2014 CES trade show. Intel started its dual OS idea. Users can switch between two operation system by one instant button. Followed that, Intel launched the Bay Trail solution for dual OS tablets.

Compared with single OS tablets, the dual OS units can benefit users more. As we have mentioned above, Android OS has more apps and better touch operation, and Windows OS can work with software for laptop PC.

Though the Windows 8 OS has already been added the Metro interface, and there is some apps for Windows OS. But the amount is much less and their update frequency is also lower. But Compared with Android OS, Windows OS has better performance of IE and video playback, and it is also compatible with Coredrawl, Photoshop etc which Android OS can not make it.

But as the Bay Trail processors are not powerful to run big 3D online games in Windows OS, but in Android OS, it can be run easily.
