Asus PadFone X stars in new video, AT&T doesn't say when it will release it

AT&T and Asus are sure taking their sweet time before launching the PadFone X. The new smartphone-tablet hybrid device was announced in the first week of January (four months ago), and there is still no word on exactly when customers will be able to buy it.

But AT&T keeps on teasing the device. We saw a few promo videos of it lately, and today another one was posted by AT&T on YouTube. The idea of the new video is far from being brilliant, basically telling male customers that they can “get the girl with the Asus PadFone X.” Apparently, girls should be impressed by the fact that you can dock the 5-inch PadFone handset into the 9-inch tablet accompanying it.

The PadFone X will run Android 4.4 KitKat at launch, supporting AT&T’s new LTE-Advanced network. Other features include a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 13MP rear camera, 2MP front-facing camera, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal memory. The PadFone handset has a 2,300 mAh battery, while the tablet dock offers and extra 4,990 mAh battery. Pricing details are missing at the moment, but we should probably expect AT&T to sell the PadFone X for a lot of money.
