ASUS Nexus 7
Speaking of pizzazz, ASUS’ charismatic chairman Jonney Shih took to the stage on Sunday afternoon to unveil new cloud computing services and two new Android devices -- the Padfone Infinity and Fonepad. (If you’ve not yet watched the presentation, you should at last check out the barking mad introductory segment.)
We came away more impressed with the Padfone Infinity, largely due to its speed and build quality. However the case for a dockable smartphone/tablet hybrid is as difficult to make today as it was a year ago when ASUS brought us the original Padfone. And with a 999 Euro price tag, you could easily buy a high-end smartphone and a retina iPad for the amount ASUS is asking for the Padfone Infinity. At this point, we’re hoping ASUS comes to its senses and makes a smartphone that’s just a smartphone, with no gimmicks attached.
