Asus PadFone unveiled at Computex 2011

At the Computex 2011 in Taiwan, Asus Chairman unveiled their latest smartphone-tablet combo — the Asus Pad Phone PadFone.

The PadFone is an Android smartphone that you can plug at the back of
a bigger tablet. It’s definitely a big departure from the current
line-up of Android handsets.


The ASUS Padfone is a device that explores one possible
convergence between two popular mobile devices — the smartphone and the
tablet. The Padfone solves the problem of data transfer hassles and
multiple SIM cards when both a smartphone and 3G tablet are used. With
the Padfone, the smartphone docks inside the tablet to give users an
expanded view to suit their tasks.



With the phone docked, it can recharge from the tablet’s larger
battery and the tablet can also make use of the smartphone’s 3G internet
connection. The dual interfaces for both the pad and phone ensure an
enhanced user experience as the layout is automatically adjusted for all
activities such as video conferencing, web browsing, and emailing.

Still waiting for specific details on specs and pricing. Will update once we more info from PR.
