Can anyone shed some light, I've never heard of Geeksphone.

Can you use Android, and iOS and Windows 8 on it? If so I can see why people would want to buy one.

You probably can't use any proprietary OS on it: Apple certainly would never license iOS, and I doubt W8 would either.

Android, Ubuntu Mobile, Firefox OS, Meego, Tizen are more likely candidates.

Windows 8 runs on commodity x86 hardware. Assuming there's driver support, it should work.

[TazeTSchnitzel]

Phones aren't commodity x86 hardware in the way PCs are. The hardware can't be enumerated.

Can you buy a licence to run it legally though?

[poloniculmov]

Windows 8? Yeah. You can't buy Windows Phone 8.

They are one of the producers of Firefox OS developer phones. ZTE being another one.
