Asus has combined a smartphone and tablet into one with the introduction of Padfone. The Taiwanese company announced Padfone earlier today at the Computex expo, which converges the phone and the tablet into one.
Both the tablet as well as the smartphone stand out on their own but dock in the 4-inch smartphone behind the tablet and it transforms the 10-inch screen into a fully blown 3G tablet. In addition to giving 3G capabilities to the tablet, the tablet charges the docked phone via its larger battery and also helps users to view content on their phone on a larger screen.
Asus says, the layout of both the devices is automatically adjusted for all activities such as video conferencing, web browsing and emailing.
The idea sounds intriguing but there are of course, some lingering questions like tablet’s dependency on the phone to work or can a user buy the phone or tablet only etc.
Needless to say, we’ll have all our queries answered soon but for now, images is what you’ll have to suffice with.
