Durable Laptop Batteries
Hands-on with the ASUS Padfone smartphone/tablet combo
MobileBurn.com – ASUS has been talking about its Padfone smartphone and tablet combo device for a long time, but it has finally locked down a final hardware design and was showing it off at Mobile World Congress. The phone section of the Padfone has a 4.3-inch, qHD Super AMOLED display with bright and vibrant colors and great viewing angles. It is powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz processor and runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The phone then docks into the back of the tablet portion of the Padfone, which has a 10.1-inch 1280 x 800 pixel display and extended battery that can charge the phone’s battery. The tablet is powered by the phone’s processor, and provides users with the tablet version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Finally, the tablet portion can then dock into a keyboard dock, effectively making the Padfone a full laptop. ASUS expects to bring the Padfone to market in April, but it has not announced pricing at this time. More info: www.mobileburn.com

i wish the tablet still could be on without the phone..?
this dual core? is more powerful then many quads
afaik? yes
this is what we? called “transformer” now
I love this it’s what I been waiting for and I want now…I’m worried that none of the carriers? will want something like this cause this would kill the tethering charges like the cloud witch some companies just started will they be for it or against it?
Maybe, but I still don’t see any more? “padfones” on the market. Especially with the overkill phones have now, this would work so much better.
It was actually? designed for HTC’s, google HTC Tube
so i can use a usb memory stick and plugg it in and play? for exmapel movies from it ??
well if the phone can handle the formats i suppose
that would be awesome
yes

w w w. netbooknews. de? /69646/asus-padfone-mit-qualcomm-snapdragon-s4-8260a-im-benchmark-top-leistungswerte/
is? that full size usb on the keybord ??
This is the future. If HTC would do this or Apple, than samsung and other company’s would? do this too. Maybe the smartest idea of 2012.
ASUS getting? ahead of the game… cool stuff !!
Tegra 4 (Wayne) SOC: 1.7 GHz Octa-Core Processor, 64? Processing cores for? the GPU. It will be released in December 2012.
You need a? bluetooth device.
Not for the smartphone unit, but for connected monitors. Don’t you see? The Phone is the computer, is your pc, your phone, your cam, your wallet, your stereo, your video player/recorder and your remote for all.?
Can anyone? confirm if the padfone station or keyboard dock has an additional HDMI port. I haven’t seen any confirmation of this yet…if not then that rules out gaming on a HD TV doesn’t it?
why would you need a resolution bigger then 1024*768 for a phone that small?
Only Apple sheep pay for a higher? resolution blééh

Hey thanks for that just took a look and see that the? S4 is no underdog!
the S4 is? actually more powerful androidauthority. com/a-preview-of-the-krait-based-s4-vs-tegra-3-and-exynos-4210-55639/
This is a hint of what must come soon, namely? a quad core 2 ghz phone with 8 gb ram and 64 gb memory running windows 8 with a 4.5-5 inch full HD display, Bluetooth connection to keyboard and mouse as well as an MHL port for 2560*1600 display and a docking station containing an additional APU and additional ram, upgradeable as well as a network card and a ssd drive.
That’s the future of the PC /Phone, an all in one device capable of workstation class computing.
Vendors, bring in Q4 2012 or die
Keep in mind that although it’s “only” dual-core, the new Snapdragon S4 is a lot more powerful than the previous-gen S3, it comes with a better GPU? and it also has dual-channel memory architecture instead of single-channel. Personally I haven’t tried the tablet version of ICS yet, but it’s supposed to be a lot better optimized than Honeycomb was, so I don’t believe performance will be a problem with this device
From Phone to Tablet to Netbook =? EPIC AWESOME
What carrier is? this going to?
