ASUS' PadFone Android smartphone and the PadFone Station
- a device that transforms to a tablet when connected
to the Padfone - is ready to ship this month.
Alone, the PadFone is a Android Ice Cream Sandwich
smartphone with a 4.3" screen, but when connected to the
PadFone Station, it transforms into a 10.1" Android ICS
tablet with up to 63 hours of talk time.
Key feature of the ASUS PadFone is the DynamicDisplay
technology which allows a seamless transition between
standalone and docked modes, where the majority of
applications are automatically enhanced with their
display layouts adjusted to suit the PadFone Station's
10.1" 1280 x 800 screen.
The PadFone provides all of the PadFone Station's
processing power and storage when the two are docked. So
no matter which device was used last, all photos,
documents, and games are kept up to date and available
whenever users need them. BThe PadFone Station also
charges the PadFone for up to 63 hours of talk time.
When docked, the PadFone Station uses the PadFone?s 3G
connection for internet access.
The ASUS PadFone has a Super AMOLED qHD display and is
powered by a dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4
processor. It also comes equipped with an 8-megapixel
digital camera with Fuji image processor, f/2.2 aperture
and 5-element lens offers, while renowned ASUS
SonicMaster technology provides high-quality audio
through the PadFone Station's built-in speakers.
An optional Bluetooth stylus headset is both a headset
and a stylus - users can use it to draw and write and,
when a call comes in while the PadFone is docked, pick
up the call. The PadFone Station comes with its own
keyboard dock. The Station Dock keyboard accessory also
houses its own battery that charges the PadFone for up
to 102 hours of talk time and comes with additional USB
ports and card reader. In addition, the sleeve for the
PadFone has been designed it to include a SIM card slot
for frequent travelers, along with a hidden cleaning
cloth.
