<p>There's been a lot of talk in the past couple of weeks about whether Android and Microsoft's Windows Phone OS could and should coexist on a single device and/or form factor.</p><p>It turns out that at least one OEM already has put Android and an embedded variant of the Windows Phone OS on a single form factor. That OEM is Bluebird, a Korean handheld mobile device provider.</p><p>Bluebird announced the new five-inch device, which it is calling BM180, on January 17. The press release announcing the device interestingly doesn't mention Android at all; it focuses on Windows Embedded 8 Handheld, which is based on the Windows Phone 8 core. (There's also a new BP30 model mentioned in Bluebird's press release, which is an even more ruggedized version of the BM180.)</p><p>Thanks to a tip from @WP_Downunder's "Sheeds," I was able to grab the full specs and details about the coming device before they seemingly disappeared from Bluebird's Web site, which has been largely unavailable today.</p><p><a href="http://www.zdnet.com/bluebirds-new-ruggedized-handheld-can-run-android-windows-phone-variant-7000025314/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.neowin.net/news/the-bluebird-bm180-handset-can-run-android-or-windows-embedded-8-handheld">The Bluebird BM180 handset can run...</a> (Neowin)</p><p><a href="http://www.ubergizmo.com/2014/01/bluebirds-bm180-boots-windows-embedded-8-handheld-and-android/">Bluebird&#039;s BM180 Boots Windows Embedded 8 Handheld And Android</a> (Ubergizmo)</p><p><a href="http://www.androidheadlines.com/2014/01/bm180-runs-android-windows-wrapped-rugged-little-package-thanks-bluebird.html">The BM180 Runs Android Or Windows, All Wrapped Up In A Rugged Little ...</a> (Android Headlines - Android News)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dEbuFl4zFK8MzqMB6t3Cxk_NM9d0M&authuser=0&ned=us">9 additional articles.</a></p>
