Asus Padfone Infinity

While Asus has seen relative success with their Transformer line of products, and the Nexus 7, the Padfone has yet to make a real impact. Both the Padfone and Padfone 2 failed to make quite the splash Asus was hoping for, but they aren’t giving up yet. Announced at Mobile World Congress, Asus has just debuted the next generation Padfone, the Padfone Infinity, and a new addition to their lineup, a huge 7-inch phone known as the Fonepad.

Essentially the Padfone 3 with some marketing hype attached, the Padfone Infinity is the next entry in Asus’ tablet-docking smartphone series. As with previous Padfone devices, the Infinity is comprised of a high-end smartphone and a tablet dock, giving consumers the ease of having to manage only one device, but the flexibility of multiple screen sizes. As for the specs on the Padfone Infinity, Asus has included a 5-inch 1080p display this time around, as well as a quad-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon 600 Processor, 2GB RAM, a 13 megapixel camera, 2 megapixel front-facing camera, 2400mAh battery, as much as 64GB of on-board storage and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.

Previous Padfones have never suffered from a lack of premium components, and neither does the Padfone Infinity. What the Padfone Infinity does suffer from, however, is limited availability. Once again, the Padfone Infinity doesn’t look to be headed for the US. With a hefty price tag of €999, importers will have to be willing to pay an arm and a leg once it becomes available overseas.

The Padfone Infinity wasn’t the only device announced by Asus as Mobile World Congress. The Taiwanese company is taking the old saying, “bigger is better,” to heart, with the unveiling of the 7-inch Fonepad.

Coming in with a 1280×800 7-inch IPS display, 1.2GHz Atom Z2420 processor, 1GB RAM, 4270mAh battery, 3 megapixel camera, 1.2 megapixel front-facing camera and 3G Connectivity, the Fonepad is one of the biggest devices we’ve ever seen marketed as a phone. The recently announced Galaxy Note 8 features phone capabilities, but Asus is really driving those features home.

The Fonepad will be released this March in titanium gray and champagne gold, with the 8GB model starting at just $249USD. Unlike the Padfone Infinity, there’s a good chance the Fonepad could be making its way stateside.

Ok question since I can't get the help in the tech section.

I upgraded from my original Kindle Fire to the HD 8.9 model, problem is I'm having a hard time viewing some videos. Almost like I'm missing some codecs or plugins.

I never had this issue before and even downloaded flash just as I had previously, but what am I missing?

Videos to me are showing like it's a pc of a jigsaw puzzle in the middle.

HELP! Please and thank you.

are you trying to watching videos thru a browser? if so, which browser? Dolphin, Chrome and the default browser do not support flash. You can get Firefox. Flash works with firefox.

New Nexus 7 coming in july?

Google plans to launch a new version of its Nexus 7 tablet in July 2013, Reuters reported, citing sources with knowledge of the new product.

The new Nexus 7 will be built by Asustek. It will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and have a thinner bezel, as well as a higher screen resolution, sources said.

The original Nexus 7, also built by Asustek, was powered by an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor; it had a screen resolution of 1280x800 pixels.

Google reportedly plans to ship up to 8 million units of the new Nexus 7 in the second half of 2013. Its main competitors would be Amazon's Kindle Fire and Apple's iPad mini.

None of this has been officially confirmed by Google, and no details about the tablet's price have been revealed. The original Nexus 7 costs $199.

Sony Xperia Z. Nice specs.
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_...order/?part=pulse&subj=androidatlas&tag=title
Sony's Xperia Tablet Z is now available for preorder through Sony's Web site. The tablet is expected to ship on May 24 and prices for the 16GB and 32GB models are $499 and $599, respectively.
The 10.1-inch Xperia Tablet Z's physical dimensions make it one of the thinnest and lightest tablets on the market and, according to Sony, its waterproof and dustproof build makes it highly durable. Not to be outshone by its good looks, the Xperia Tablet Z ships with the Android 4.1.2 operating system, houses a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor and 2GB RAM, and sports a 1,920x1,200-pixel-resolution display. Other features include an 8.1-megapixel rear camera, a 2-megapixel rear camera, and NFC.
Preorders through Sony of the 32GB model in white between now and May 24 will come with a free charging cradle, regularly priced at $44.99.
Check back on CNET for a full review of the Sony Xperia Tablet Z once it becomes available, but for now here's our First Take.

New Nexus 7
Just yesterday, we were talking about the possibility of Google releasing a follow-up to last summer’s Nexus 7 in the near future. We’ve heard a little about possible specs, and just got some news about potential price points. Today, we get some of the strongest evidence yet for new hardware, upon the paperwork for a new ASUS tablet hitting the FCC.

OK, but ASUS makes plenty of tablets, right? Granted, but check out the info box below, where this model K009 is clearly marked as a Nexus model.

The hardware run-down that follows sure seems to match a lot of the rumors we’ve heard about a new Nexus 7. Those include the addition of a rear camera, initially lacking, and the upgraded SoC – that APQ8064 chip is a Snapdragon S4 Pro, like in the Nexus 4.

Battery capacity seems to hint at this being a seven-inch device, or at least generally in that range – it’s no 10-incher, at least. And you see that Qualcomm chip listed as the WWLAN module? The “L” on the end there indicates that it’s an LTE-capable radio.

If this is the new Nexus 7, it doesn’t sound too bad. We might have liked to see a slightly more modern SoC, but the option for LTE could be a nice touch. Now we just have to confirm rumors about the full HD screen.

Update: This K009 popped-up at the Bluetooth SIG as well, and those docs offer some additional insight. For one, they confirm a seven-inch screen, but they also mention the tablet running a Snapdragon 600 – more like the SoC we were hoping for. This could just be a typo in the FCC docs, as the 600 is the 8064T, versus just an 8064.

Damn I wish I would've seen this before I bought by Kindle Fire HD. I fucks with it though. Especially for the price.
 
Tablets are dying. Phones are bigger now and can do everything a tablet can do and still fit in your pocket.
 
iPad all day, got my kindle fire on the wall using it as a clock, oh and it's connected to the tv to play movies.

iPad ya heard
