We just heard from Asus India that they are launching the kick ass Asus Padfone along with the Transformer Pad TF300T in India next week. The PadFone is a innovative concept from Asus , a phone which can fit inside a tablet and you can use the phone like a tablet. If you wonder will you take calls when the phone is docked inside the tablet , it comes with a interesting bluetooth headset for the same.
