ASUS amazing PadFone laptop,netbook+mobile integrated





ASUS' last smartphone was the Android 2.1-powered A10 from two years ago, then five months later the company ended its smartphone partnership then asus introduced Eee-pads to market but they are not pretty muchh succesful products as they expected

Ironically , the PadFone shocked the industry at last year, but ASUS went on to miss its Christmas launch target, allowing it extra time to recreate the phone's software and design. but unfortunatly they not show up their amazing product in CES or MWC ,but later hosting the official launch event to unveil the PadFone's final design and availability date. This time, the new April target was missed by only three weeks, and shortly afterwards it was awailable in retail unit from Taiwan, which is still the only place where you can get this product for now


Hardware

ASUS has delivered a pleasant surprise with the PadFone's weight.

PadFone package comes in three main parts: the phone, the PadFone Station pad and the PadFone Station keyboard dock. phone : in Taiwan, you can buy this HSPA+ (WCDMA 900/2100) handset on its own -- forUS$610, or US$580 before tax without contract. You get a 4.3-inch, 960 x 540 Samsung Super AMOLED display (with Gorilla Glass plus a hard coat, low reflection film), a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 SoC (MSM8260A at 1.5GHz), 1GB LPDDR2 RAM, an 8-megapixel AF camera with LED flash, a VGA front-facing camera and a removable 3.7V 1,520mAh battery. The Taiwanese version also comes with a generous 32GB of internal eMMC flash storage plus another 32GB of free ASUS Webstorage for three years. You can add even more via microSDXC -- that could be an additional 64GB




PadFone's backside  isn't metallic, the  finish is achieved with curves on the slightly flexible plastic, centering the camera  but clearly the back  texture provides the additional benefit of resisting fingerprints. The back cover can be peeled off from the bottom edge, thus exposing the spring-loaded microSD slot, mini-SIM slot and removable battery.






like all common ics phones virtual buttons are placed in the lower part of the screen providing functionality . The only facial features on the phone are the shiny earpiece and the VGA camera at the top, as well as the ASUS logo at the bottom. Below that is a black, shiny plastic lip that traces back to the rim around the glass, and all of this is encompassed and accented by the lower silver bezel. If you look closer






The Included tablet part features an LCD panel, a Super AMOLED display on the phone , but as opposed to using LCD for the sake of consistency. though a Plus version of the Super AMOLED panel would have been very welcome. ASUS said it went with AMOLED because it believes that it's "the best solution for [a] phone with high contrast and lightness." It also allowed the company to produce a thinner device. On the bright side, the PadFone offers an "outdoor mode" toggle which boosts the screen brightness, and with that, the Super AMOLED display is quite usable under strong sunlight. For the sake of your battery life,

PadFone Station

The PadFone Station is essentially just an external 10.1-inch, 1280 x 800 IPS display (also with Gorilla Glass and HCLR film, but more prone to attracting fingerprints) and a battery pack for the PadFone, but it also packs a loudspeaker at the back and a 1.3-megapixel camera at the front

This also means that the phones will rely on Microsoft’s cloud apps and services instead of Google’s (so no Gmail, Chrome or Google Maps unless they’re specifically ported over).
