Just use bluetooth headsets, what’s the prob with that. People don’t want to carry a phone and a tablet, and people want larger screens, I would totally buy a tablet with phone capabilities for my everyday phone as long as my bluetooth head set reaches 30 feet with the tablet

The next time ASUS gets my money, it will be for a device running Ubuntu OS… unless Google buys them out and incorporates their technology into future Android releases.

Where did you get headphones with a Galaxy Nexus?

$250. Asus has to make money somehow you know.

This has 1/4th the cost. It’s more a budget device than a spec battle device.

I use the headphones that came with my GNex.

I want a 7″ tablet w/ phone capability. I text more than I use the phone anyway, and for the times when I need a to actually make a call, a bluetooth headset wwould be fine.

Too bad North America won’t see this anytime soon.

Let me get this straight… The Padphone Infinity has a 1080p display on a 5 inch screen. This has a 1280×800 display on a 7 inch screen. Logical.

Seems like a cheaper Nexus 7 3G.

Meh. I don’t need a 6″ phablet let alone a 7″ one. Specs are a slightly disappointing as well. If it were a true phablet, I’d expect better cameras.

Now this could work with T-Mobile’s $30 pre-paid plan with 100 minutes of talk, unlimited texting and 5gb of data.

T-Mobile has the N7 3G blocked from the plan, but this supports voice…

I can’t wait for my new 42″ Panasonic PlasmaFone!!! Nothing like making calls on the big screen!

But you don’t hold it up to your head to do it.

If devs could find a way to get other x86 operating systems to boot on this, like Ubuntu or even Windows it would be pretty awesome. But I haven’t seen anything like this happening on other x86 Android devices.
