I'm not aware of any Android or iOS devices (except regular iMacs/Macbooks/Mac 
Minis/etc) that use x86 CPUs.

Since the ARM version of Win8 isn't out yet, the answer would be "no"

Put Win8 onto my HP Slate 500 last night - need to work out how to fix the 
N-trig digitizer, but otherwise seems to work fine.

Cheers
Ken

If Microsoft pitch it right, Samsung would do a phone/pad for them.
(and maybe this is already in the pipeline)
(edit:  a quick google says its already on the way)

But, if its like this, I'd say they still don't 'get' pads.

or even this

Is there room for more than 2 OSes in this marketplace?  At 850,000 activations 
a day (Android) and whatever iOS do (they have a different
measure) I't going to be hard to get traction in that market.

Anyone think it'd be possible to install Win 8 onto an iOS or Android hardware 
item?
