It was a tablet first. Then innovations and innovations came.

I think they're the most productive company out there right now.
Not overpricing products. Innovating tablet-netbook hybrids, quadcore tablets, phone tablet hybrids and tablets with keyboards (and if I mention the very sexy and cheap ultrabook).

If this tab and phone came with diff batteries, i'd consider.

i would hope that the tablet add on came with its own battery (and could charge the phone battery if u wished :) )
their keyboard dock had an extra battery.. sooo... hopefully :)

but i most definately agree. Asus is being the most creative on the device front and samsung is pushing the power limits. they should get together on something. :)

As of tablets I don't know about the galaxy tabs pushing power limits. :/ their tabs are overpriced and lacking, though sexy.

and as of now, I wouldnt really buy an asus phone because it has'nt established it's name in the smartphone industry yet.

true, for some reason keeps going with tegra2 over exynos in the tablets. But I was thinking specifically samsung's hardware (exynos/amoled) mixed with asus design creativity. It should prove interesting at least. :)

Asus sometimes make me feel like the other companies just don't care about getting customers.
Asus, in my impression, is THE company that brings cutting edge technology packed in elegant but sturdy designs at prices similar to or even lower than other slower/uglier competitors. No wonder they're huge now.

Padfone is a great idea.

You can have the tablet part in a backpack or purse for when you need it on the go, otherwise leave it at home and take just the phone with you.

Right ... so how is it any different then from having a phone and a tablet?

I see having everything in one device ... however ... with all of this "cloud" stuff these days ... contacts, documents can be shared with relative ease.

Again the form fact too ... at least for me ... is a big X too.
