I've not been a fan of the big tablets. I used my Asus Transformer at 10" and it was a little unwieldly, the 8" size was about the right size for me.
And then there was the Nexus 9. Aside from larger tablets, I wasn't a fan of the square size, but it seems to be popular... all those iTablets are that ratio and even a few more Android ones. But, really, using a tablet has fallen away for me because my phone does all I need it to do. What it can't do I can easily go and grab my computer for.
But, what if my device could do both? These dual booting devices are popping up more and more.
The other day I was shown a very cheap option, and then today Everbuying is showcasing to me the Onda V919.
Now, not as cheap as the other one they suggested, but at $140USD it comes with a fair bit:

- 9.7" 2048x1536
- Intel Z3735F 1.83GHz x4
- 2GB RAM
- 32GB storage + microSD
- 7200mAh
- 2MP/2MP
- Android 4.4 / Windows 10
You can tell this is aimed squarely at the iPad users as a viable alternative... same size and resolution as your iPad but it can do not only a lot more because it's on Android, but can do Windows as well..
I'm drooling over the battery. 7200mAh ... that's a lot of Pokemon time for my son. Heck, hook that up with a bit of a stand, give him a controller and it's a new console for him.
I'm curious tho', with a dual booting system, how much of that 32GB is left over?
Have you tried a dual boot tablet? Worth it? The price is just about in that 'eh, why not' range... but not quite.
