Last week, a few teaser photo’s of ASUS’s newest device were released offering a few shots of the device before it makes its official debut at Computex 2011. It goes by the name of the PadFone according to Pocketnow who shared the first pictures of the device. Yesterday, Pocketnow actually posted new photos of the mysterious device.
The PadFone comes with a compartment to put your ASUS-branded Android phone. No information about how the two devices work together has been released but the photos give you an idea of what the device will be like at least. We will find out more during Computex this Tuesday so there won’t be a long wait left for those wanting to hear more.
The docking station, as seen through the photo above, seems to have the basics of a USB port and SD card port and if it is like the ASUS Pad Transformers dock station, it should have a built-in trackpad and battery. I am not sure how folding a smartphone into a netbook will work. I feel like the device will be lacking because they spent so much effort trying to make it seem to intricate and different. What do you guys think of the PadFone?
