TransPhone is like a small Padfone, but not really
Share:
TransPhone, as the device is called, is a phone + tablet duo in the same way like the Padfone, but it tries to keep things a bit more affordable with lower specs and a smaller form-factor. The phone part of the TransPhone features goodies like a 3.5" display, single-core CPU, 512MB RAM, 5MP camera and HSPA connectivity among other things. The tablet part, on the other hand, can quickly enlarge the image with its 7" screen, and power it with its own, beefier battery.
The TransPhone can be purchased now for $429.99, which doesn't sound like a great deal for what you're getting. Interestingly, the manufacturer also offers some other choices like getting an additional tablet part (called TransPad) for $140 (kind of weird why someone would need two of those), a phone part for $379, a family pack consisting of two TransPhones and two TransPacks plus an additional charger for $999, or the ultimate super-mega business pack consisting of 10 TransPhones, 15 TransPads and 5 additional chargers for the perfectly reasonable price of $4499.
We want to inform you that PhoneArena is currently in talks with ExoTablet about purchasing a business pack of TransPhones in order to improve team communication and productivity while in the office and on the go.

No they will not and can't - they dont hold the patents, TransPhone International do!

That would be interesting, not sure why that would happen considering the owners of Transphone have 3 US patents for this type of configuration in the first place. Whoops should be interesting lmao

Good idea and design for this, but the specs are just awful. Would be nice also if the tablet part served to be more than just a bigger screen and battery for the phone. Wouldnt it be awesome if it had its own SoC and all so you can double the performance of the device or something?

No, but I understand that TransPhone are the people who own the US patents for this kind of TransPhone / PadFone device (since 2002 no less!). When you try a TransPhone you find the specs don't matter, the user experience is so much better. My Blackberry (top of the line) is on the shelf and some others I know have chucked out their iPhone 4s (and decided not to upgrade to 5) because they find the TransPhone is so much better as a user experience. Specs are a means to an end but if the end itself (a one-screen phone) is flawed, specs won't get anything more than bragging rights. Two screens are better than one any day - as you will find out (as I did) when you try. Who wants a feeble one-screen phone? Not I!
