The Asus Padfone gives you a 4.3in, 1.5GHz Snapdragon powered mobile, which slots into a 10.1in tablet – which, in turn, connects to a trackpad-toting keyboard – all of which have their own batteries. So, essentially you’re getting the best of all mobile worlds, for one price. But until now, Asus hasn't announced what that price is.
Taiwan pre-orders for the Padfone start tomorrow with a release date of April 20th. Pricing for the complete kit is set at NT$28,901 ($A948). But judging from the international price variations for the Transformer Prime, we’d estimate a nice round $A1000 once it lands on western shores.
The gadgetry treats will be sold separately also but if you pre-order – in Taiwan, at least – you get a free extra battery. Here’s hoping that offer gets extended to the rest of the world when pre-orders begin (hopefully) later this month.
