The bluetooth pen pretty much seals the deal for me. This thing better come to America. I'd even consider dropping my beloved Sprint if it goes to some other carrier.

About the weight. Padfone with the station has 8100 mAh worth of battery (1500+6600) while iPad 2 has 7200 mAh and Galaxy Tab 7000 mAh. Part of the weight difference is explained by the bigger battery. Part is the additional casing and second screen on the phone. Padfone with the padstation doesn't sound that much overweight when you consider e.g. these two factors.

Gigabyte - pronounced with two hard G's!

Late trend of miss-pronouncing it with sound J is just ghastly (yeah like that one, not like Jenga).

It ranks right up there with Iraq and nuclear - G.W. Bush as one of the most anoying things i hear on the media.

Are we to contribute this one to 'American'??? The guy clearly has eastern Europe accent and we know our GIGA, so what gives?

Folks this would be a dynamite device with a windows 8 smartphone or even windows phone 7.5 mango smartphone both of these smart phones have Microsoft office functions so you could do serious work with this hook up

Here's how I would visualize using this game-changing innovation. I would carry the tablet (Station) around in a sleeve or folio or my briefcase, with the phone inserted in it (keeping the battery charged up). When a call comes in, I would answer it on the stylus (smallest phone device going? I was a fan of Maxwell Smart in childhood), which is traveling in my shirt pocket. When I need to place a call, I'll probably pull out the Station, tap Contacts, and place the call. I'll also use the station for navigation as it sits on the passenger seat, and take handwritten notes at appointments (I prefer handwriting to typing notes) and share them back to my home/office computer thru Evernote. I'll take the phone along by itself when I don't forsee needing the tablet. I can't imagine a more comprehensive set of communication tools, at least until the cranial implant comes along. This is just to give you why-why-why detractors some ideas, since you can't seem to think of them yourselves. NOW COME ON SPRINT, SEIZE THE PADFONE REVOLUTION!

Hi,

Great idea. My question is, what would be the chipset for the Pad fone tablet...from what I understand, that the tablet will be powered by the dual core phone. However, there was one recent article that I saw - can't find it now, that said that the padfone tablet had the NVIDIA tegra 3, while the phone is still a dual core..

Kindly enlighten..and thank you
