Samsung has just announced a tablet that runs both Windows 8 and Android. It has a crazy hinge that allows for different modes of use. The ATIV Q is being billed as “a truly convertible device” with the power to enjoy both Windows and Android. The Q allows users to enjoy Android apps on Windows. It has both Windows 8 and Android 4.2.2 installed. You get access to Google Play, and the ability to transfer files and share folders with Windows.

The Q sports a crazy new hinge that allows for four modes. You can lay the display flat for tablet mode, raise it like a laptop, float it for viewing, or flip it to stand upright. The display is one of the world’s highest resolutions at 3200×1800. Windows 8 has never looked better. Samsung has not released pricing or release date info at this time.

    This is nice, this is more of what we need, and really will make people wonder why Apple doesn’t have a OSX/iOS convertible. This is going to push systems to really have the best of everything, and we consumers will benefit.

    I love the idea of this. We have been needing hybrids like this for a while. I might get it, depending on the price.
