Long-Rumored ASUS Padfone Will Ship in February, Perhaps with Tegra 3 On Board
I'm split. A part of me doesn't believe ASUS will be wowing us with amazing processor speeds as they try to keep the price low enough for entry-level consumer interest. After all, the Padfone is pursuing those who'd like to buy a tablet and a phone but might not have the money or motivation to buy both separately.
On the other hand, Tegra 3 was confirmed for a Q1 2012 release and will be used in the Transformer Prime, so why not the Padone as well? Certainly ASUS has a reputation for using the newest chips on their devices.
Price is still unknown at this point, but I'm guessing a ballpark range between $450-$500. What do you think of the Padfone? Gimmick or potential industry disruptor?

That would be the day! But yeah I'm looking forward to the RAZR too esp with all the add ons motorola has planed... it almost looks like they copyed a page from the Spider playbook!
I was playing to buy the motorola droid razr and the asus transformer prime. But if the padphone really comes out with the same specs as the prime, incl. a baterry that keeps running for more then 14 hours of heavy usage, then i would wait till feb.
Maybe Asus could get some ideas of the KT SpiderPhone :)
