All those Chinese companies were doing dual booting Windows & Android tablets.... would be cool if Microsoft did an official one, that didn't require rebooting.
But I don't see much point in an MS Android tablet... that can do phone calls.
I will definitely support this device.
Holding off buying any new smartphone hardware until I see more about this device; cannot deny that the concept intrigues me greatly. Interested to hear what the subject-matter experts believe the opening price will be for the Duo. Further interested to hear how many will jump on the initial release of this device versus waiting on the 2nd or 3rd iteration to wait for bumps to be smoothed out.
Microsoft has the best usability team around. If they succeed in making the interaction between the screens intuitive and efficient that IP will be very attractive to enterprises. Just like Microsoft's Surface Hub anticipated the needs of enterprises better than any other smart board and became a multi-billion dollar business, the Duo could become the prototype for the laptop/tablet convergence that people have been looking for for the past decade.
Z10 = BB10 + VKB > iOS + Android
For those wondering how MS will implement dual screens for a Android device, here's a video that shows how they plan to do it for Windows. I'm certain they will want to port as many of these design features as they can, so it's worth checking out.

I think their approach looks great, and I'd certainly consider one of these tablets as a light mobile option for situations where I don't want my laptop. With a cell connection or mobile hotspot, this would beat the pants off of my KEYone in every way that matters to me.
I have been toying with the LG G8X dual screen phone, and I have to say I like it....the only thing keeping me from purchasing is LG's dismal history of updates....so probably going to go with a Pixel 4XL
