Asus: Padfone

It sucks...move along, not created by Apple. But, if you're into mediocrity like moi...

In all seriousness...looks cool.

Can it multi-task and be a tablet and a phone at the same time? Otherwise......

I think I should edit the title to say "APPLE".

And then...suddenly, a mass e-stampede into the thread ensues................

Better to be part of the stampede than to be in the stampede, as you are with Sony. Better get your blind stick out and get your condoms on them, for the ass ephen you get with them.

So when you get a call, you have to try your best to quickly get your phone out of the back of the tablet?

The server they're running the site on must be an Asus Padfone

Pretty cool, I would assume you can use the pad as a phone via speaker or earphones.

It'd be cooler if there was an Apple logo instead of Asus on the Padfone, hey...? I know...

But, seriously M...seriously. Why are you in this thread? I know the manufacturer's name starts with an "A" but, it is not APPLE. So, get your pants back on. Geebus. :shakehead

I honestly don't think it's that great.

I like the idea that HP did with that tapping of devices to send what you got on your pre to the Touchpad (I think it's only for websites but imagine if it worked with apps too) Pair that with cloud based storage to centralize data storage so apps and documents or whatever are in sync.

I'd rather have the devices separate.
Cause that device if you dont got yer phone in it, the big screen is useless.

Personally, when I'm ready for a tablet it will come down to what the Windows 8 OS can do on a tablet...from what I'm seeing, the potential is cool.

Apparently Asus wasn't the only one thinking of ways to combine smartphones and tablets in a Voltron-esque fashion. Computer maker ECS, hours after Asus debuted the Padfone, demoed a non-functional iPhone like Padfone prototype.

Clearly Apple is better than Asus....because the iphone version is Voltron-esque!!!!
