Been waiting got this for 2YRS now! C’mon, ASUS and US carriers, strike up a deal. I know it is all about $$$. I am ready to buy even at a reasonably high price. Love the 3 in 1 concept. Hoping still….

I disagree.. I like having the buttons off the screen on the S3. Give more screen space. Also helps with accidental presses of the home button.

This is way better than putting your phone to a keyboard like the bionic or razr. You kill two birds with one stone with a padphone because you get the best of both worlds.
Asus needs to make this as a universal for all phones to fit in the tablet. all you’d need is the plug for your phone connection and it would work.

Physical buttons will hold Android back.. on screen buttons are the future

I would definitely buy it. I have a GS3 and am contemplating on buying a nexus 7. For me this would be perfect.

Those ARE onscreen nav buttons. The last one had them.

That was my initial thought as well…I thought the Android community was trying to phase out physical dedicated buttons.

“Insert cry baby comment of it having capacitive buttons and not software buttons”

This would be the shot in the arm that android tablets need. Especially if just plain tablets were made where any phone can be plugged into it. The ipad isn’t losing any ground to android tablets so not sure why carriers aren’t biting on this.

I am praying for this to get to Verizon – That will be the only phone that will replace my Maxx…

It seems that I’m the only one who is in favor of this kinda tech. I like the idea of having only one device to manage, it gets rid of the syncing issues and saves money in the end. If they would just add something like what Motorola has with the Web Dock and Lap Dock this could be a total package (seeing as if it has enough performance and power to compete in all 3 sectors; phones, tablets and ultra books / net books.
