Asus: Padfone, disguised as a smartphone tablet

Asus does not know what to invent to make headlines, the latest ingenious idea of the engineers of the house is the Asian Padfone, smartphones and tablet hybrid terminal that will be unveiled in its entirety shortly at Computex 2011 in Taiwan. Many already think that the tablets are a larger version of the common smartphone, which at first glance it may well be true, only to be contradicted by the technical characteristics and the potenial greatly in favor of the tablet.

Asus then decided to support a great potential as that of the tablet PC, the only place that still has not been anyone able to satisfactorily manage the telephony sector, which would make at this point the tablet in effect a Smartphone sized exaggerated. Most people are in favor of this technological progress and the product announced by Asus, there are also criticisms of purists fan of tablets, which have already listed a number of reasons, on different blogs and autonomous spaces, according to which the tablet should not turn in the direction of smartphones, chanting for most of them in absolute banality that forces us to not report them.

The progress inevitably leads man to move towards the concept of All in One product that is capable of gathering multiple functions together in a single solution, as happened to the smartphone that the sole function of making and receiving phone calls, messages are passed gradually text, music, videos, photos and internet, and finally to the vision and production of 3D content.

Expectations are so many against the new Padfone, starting from the potential, it is now known that the operating principle of this new hybrid terminal is a simple data transmission by direct contact, ie the housing of the smartphone in a special slot designed to accept that will allow you to create a terminal compound in the middle between the smartphone and the tablet.

An ingenious idea, and difficult, did not have any more details we can not investigate further this issue, but certainly in the coming days we will talk extensively on all aspects of the physical union and the data transmission from one product to another, remember absolutely new on the market right now.

In anticipation of the same phenomenon could happen that has been unleashed against the tablet Transformer, which was the first model to implement a physical keypad to snap that made him a laptop in effect at least from the aesthetic point of view and partly from the functional . Many manufacturers would then study for their upcoming releases this type of solution and produce their own version, if that were made by Asus collect good sales figures.

The risk is of being in the presence of an alternative product and the innovative but little chance of full use in everyday life, in fact, many now use smartphones and Tablet PCs with a separate look familiar, it is unlikely that many will then leave this system to a hybrid terminal capable of coupling the two devices, except with a valid reason.

For this and a number of other reasons we should wait for the official unveiling of the tablet at the moment because it is difficult to imagine in what way these terminals will be merged into one body, triggering unnecessary fantasies that fuel speculation about a product may detect a true revolution in the market, combining smartphones to tablet a final, making them inevitably enter into the life of each and every day moving towards a slow elimination of the notebook, now having the opportunity to implement some physical keyboards on all new tablet in a very simple and functional.
