I found it actually quite clever.
And to most it probably makes sense that way: Windows 8 as the desktop system, Android for mobile demands.
But at that stage, about 1 year ago, I was (and still am) a bit tired of Android. I would like to have Windows 8 with me in the mobile device. This of course would leave Android for the desktop device, which doesn't make too much sense - Android not making much use of keyboards and such.
But technically, it should work both ways: Either the Android or the Windows processor in the dock...

well this is what Window 8 is trying to do all by itself. Have a app screen and a desktop screen in the same device. It sort of works but there are some problems. In Windows 10 they are supposed to have both modes but be transparent to the user. It will be interesting to see if they accomplish this. Currently the apps are behind both Android and iOS but they keep trying. One problem they have is too many platforms. 64bit, 32bit, RT (Arm), phone plus desktop 32 and desktop 64 mode. It is a pain to develop for 6 platforms so a developer usually just targets a subset. Of course some OS functionality can hide a bit of this but still ...
