Here's what we're getting in the phone: a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD screen, a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 with Adreno 225 GPU, and an F2.2 "5-element" lens camera. Of course, the big draw here is what Asus is calling "1 SIM for 3 devices," meaning the phone docks into a tablet body (which looks, yes, quite like the Transformer Prime models) and that in turn plugs into a keyboard dock (again, it looks just like the Transformer Pad Prime's). The Padfone will be running Android 4 when it's released, but we aren't sure which version.
Completely unexpected, however, is the the addition of a stylus headset, which lets you use the tablet form as a virtual sketchpad (cue Flyer and Note enthusiasts) and also works as a headset for when you receive phone calls. (The ever-enthusiastic Asus CEO Jonney Shih wanted to reassure us that he is not crazy talking into a pen, there's actually a mic and speaker in it.)

Interesting beats having to have two 3G accounts ie one for the tablet another for the phone. Also no more stuffing around with sync software so the same data is on the tablet and handset.
