Asus unveils PadFone

Computer manufacturer, Asus has rolled out the PadFone, a three-in-one device that combines a smartphone, tablet and notebook, at the Mobile World Congress this week, Computerworld reports.

The PadFone has a 4.3-inch super Amoled HD touch-screen and a dual-core Snapdragon S processor. It includes an 8MP digital camera and runs Android 4.0.

The PadFone is a smartphone that slides inside a tablet for a bigger screen and more battery life, Canadian Business says.

Slip the tablet into a keyboard, and it's a laptop that works as a phone.

Asus took cues from its own Transformer Prime and Motorola's Laptop Dock when designing the device, CBS News states.

Asus chairman Jonney Shih says in a report in TheStar.com that the “time has finally arrived when every screen in your lives could transcend into a portal with real-time access into your digital world”.
