PoketNow - This is the Asus Padfone being introduced tomorrow: a package consisting of an Android smartphone and tablet to dock it with. Dock inside is more appropriate, as the "fone" appears to be fully consumed by the "Pad" when the two are merged.
Maati.tv: Asus has just announced the Padfone Infinity and Fonepad tablet. Both these products will be available in Spring this year.
Lennard Seah writes for VR-Zone.com, "While the original Padfone convertible hybrid concept didn't exactly light up the smartphone world when it officially debuted at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, ASUS quietly went back to the drawing board and came with up with a much improved offering that has the credentials to challenge the established big boys out there."
Engadget - We've been regularly poking the "Check Update" button on our PadFone since the release of our epic review, and just as promised, today ASUS has finally delivered the hybrid device's first OTA update. While the release notes have yet to pop up, we can see that the system firmware on our Taiwanese model's been upgraded to IML74K.CHT_PadFone-9.18.8.41_C HT_9.1.15-0, which has eliminated some of the bugs that we had reported to ASUS.
apple is looking at this and saying, 'why didn't we think of that?' it's gonna be interesting to see which carrier is gonna carry this phonpad.
thats quite nice, hopefully in the future if this takes off you will be able to buy a generic touch pad add on for your phone to turn it into a padfonelike device. but this has caught my eye something sort of new.
Now if Samsung would make one for the focus, I will not need a new device for a while, LOL. I still have 30gigs of my 40gigs left and I have a butt load of movies and songs on my phone.
I'm guessing windows phone 8 devices will have the ability to integrate into something like this, hopefully atleast.
