Why in the world are you getting off about this? We’re all Android fanboys here, but that doesn’t mean we have to be blind. That’s really just sad. I love Android and everything it is, I love that there are cheap products that come from it, and I love how it looks. I’d never buy an iPad, but I refuse to let myself succumb to bias, that’s idiocy.

Agreed, that’s the first thing I thought of when I saw it. I don’t particularly care though, it looks really nice!

I am actually looking forward to finding out more about it, the price might be worth it.

a universal pad that covers all phones, and just needs an interchangeable plug from phone to tablet while the phone is inside. I like that, I would love a tablet that would magnify my phone’s screen.

this is exactly what i’d like. Or a tablet that has a dedicated phone inside it so I don’t need to have a separate phone. I can just use a bluetooth to talk, dial the number on the pad or use contacts, and 4g.

Need a universal tablet that will allow any phone to slide inside and plug into the tablet. All you would need is a slide adjuster to adapt to the size of the phone device inside to prevent movement, and a 1 to 1/2″ plug that matches the type of phone and plugs into the tablet just like the padfone tablet but with a cover on the back.

If they don’t skin it, it could be a winner.

Sorry, that’s not what I meant. What I mean is we are waiting on Windows and hoping they will integrate the desktop experience and FINALLY be a game changer. With Android, we are witnessing the evolution right now. With Windows we are hoping for it 2 revisions from now.

When I was in the market for a phone over 2 years ago I chose the TouchPro2 because I liked the look and feel better and was sure that I could tweak the software anyway I wanted. After a frustrating 3 days to get just Pandora on my phone I got fed up and switched to the OG Droid. I had Pandora setup before I got home.

With ICS we have most everything available to us now. It may not be perfect, but there are so many different areas that Android is making tremendous strides and with ICS you have a beautifully polished basic phone.

With Windows, we are waiting for Windows 8 to finally be that next step where Windows is finally great; just like we did with 7; just like we did with 6.5; just like we did with 6…

I, for one, think Metro is ugly. And if I wanted Metro styling I could mimick 97% of it tonight on my Android device. On windows I’m stuck with it.

Sorry for the ramble but I feel like Android made brought themselves to the future alongside Apple. Windows is still stuck in yesterday, With the way Android is evolving, and with Apple offering the so simple a 4 year old can use it OS, I don’t really see room for Windows, nor do I have faith they can step up to that level.

Tethering??? Its going to be the same device no matter what it’s connected to. Therefore $0.

I find it a little odd they are going to make this compatible with the TF101 Dock and not the TF201 dock. It seems like making it thin would be super easy since the thickness is in the phone.

This should have an amazing battery 1800 in the phone 1500 (estimate, could easily be more) in the tablet and 3300 in the TF201 dock = 6600mAh!

Before the GNex dropped, weren’t we all excited about ICS? Now that we have the GNex, aren’t we all excited about the HTC One X? And now that the Transformer Prime is available, aren’t we looking for the Transformer Infinity?

You just described: *everything in technology*, including Android.

The next version of Windows is always what we are looking for. If you ever look at any windows forums everyone gloats about how the next version of Windows on your mobile device will be sooo good. They’ve been doing this since the beginning.

Aka: Windows is always behind the curve, and I won’t for a second believe otherwise until I see it.
