Tablet maker ASUS has developed another unique idea in computing. They call it the PadFone. Asus is the company that invented the Netbook category – the 7 to 10 inch notebook computer – a few years ago.
The PadFone is more than just a larger phone. It is a standard-size smartphone that docks into the back of a tablet. Without the phone the tablet is just a sheet of glass and plastic. Docking the phone enables the tablet to show the smartphone screen on the tablet.
I see many beginning to carry a phone and a tablet. Would you be interested in this idea?
Asus did not reveal pricing or a release date. It will be carried in the U.S. exclusively through AT&T. See more in the Wall Street Journal.
