Karbonn Mobile, an India based company has reportedly signed licensing agreement with Microsoft to make handsets that support both Android and Windows Phone.

Karbonn Mobile's company chairman Sudhir Hasija said that the company signed the agreement two days ago and will launch a range of Windows phones in about three months.

According to PC World, the Windows Phone-only devices will arrive before the dual-boot phones, however, Karbonn plans to pack them up with Android and market them toward its business-centric, tech-savvy customers by promoting a series of augmented reality apps.

Meanwhile, if rumors are to be believed, last year Microsoft had asked HTC to tack on its Windows Phone platform as an extra option on its Android handsets, signaling a trend that is fast emerging among the software giant's partners.
