The Asus Padfone now available for pre-order in Taiwan to ship in April 20th

That unique, I should say, Asus Padfone that was officially unveiled during MWC 2012 is now available for pre-order in it's home turf. The smartphone/tablet/netbook all-in-one device will start shipping in Taiwan come April 20th, of course, that is if you pre-order one right now. The smartphone is being priced at a modest NT$17,990. With that you get the idea how much the whole set which includes everything, including that dock to turn the tablet into a netbook would cost.

MWC 2012: The Asus PadFone officially official

Asus, at MWC 2012, has officially unveiled the market-ready Asus PadFone, the device that's a smartphone with a tablet-dock. The Taiwan-based computer giant has changed the design of the PadFoe, probably because the original design is just annoying to look at. The tabler-dock, unfortunately, looks like the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I've read Asus' press release, which you can do too after the break, and according to my understanding, the PadFone is the smartphone while the tablet is the smartphone's tablet-dock. The tablet-dock gives you the resource of having an extra battery in a tablet form factor. It basically uses the smartphone for the CPU and whatnots that Android needs to run properly. Asus will be shipping the PadFone come April. 

Asus officially announces the Asus PadPhone

I knew it! I told myself not to blog about the rumored and leaked Asus PadPhone because my instincts is telling me not to since it will be officially be announced soon. Soon is quick for Asus, since they have officially announced the Asus PadPhone. Yup, that tablet with a phone inside it that you have been seeing around other techblogs.
