Asus' funky PadFone tablet-smartphone hybrid hitting the U.S.this spring Dec 11th 2013, 14:36, by Ian Paul The Asus PadFone is one of the more interesting, if unconventional, devices in the Android universe. First debuting in 2011, it combines a regular Android smartphone, with a tablet shell that has a rear docking port for the phone. When docked, the smartphone provides the power and processing capability for the tablet shell. So far, however, interest in the smartphone-tablet hybrid has not spurred Asus to introduce the device in the U.S. But the long wait for an Americanized PadFone may soon be over. Speaking with Engadget, Asus CEO Jerry Shen said the company would release the PadFone in the U.S. during spring 2014. Shen's recent comments back-up previous remarks from the Asus CEO in August when he said PadFone would be coming to the U.S. sometime in 2014. Shen's promise to bring the PadFone to American shores comes just as the company introduces the PadFone Mini in Taiwan. The Mini features a 4.3-inch 960-by-540 display, 1.4GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB of onboard storage, microSD expansion slot, and a 7-inch tablet display with 1280-by-800 resolution.
