- Asus plans to unveil a redesigned PadFone tablet and phone combo later this month at Mobile World Congress in Spain.
- The new device “is essentially a 10.1-inch tablet that has a slot for a 4.3-inch Asus smartphone to plug into it,” explains Digital Trends. “The processor, which is rumored to be a new Qualcomm Snapdragon S4, and other components all come from the phone.”
- It will run Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and will have the option of connecting to the Asus Transformer Prime keyboard dock.
- “The real question here is how cheap it’s all going to be,” suggests the post. “The PadFone is already somewhat expensive since you have to buy the phone and the tablet to really make use of it. If the phone costs $200-$300 (and hopefully it has LTE), then we can’t imagine people wanting to pay more than $100-$150 for the dock.”
