ASUS had a fairly small booth at this year’s Mobile World Congress. Their key devices were the Padfone Infinity and Intel-powered FonePad. Needless to say, we prefer the former which looks pretty sexy in its metallic body and the HD tablet shell. Moreover, few of their Transformer tablets were on display as well, and so was the MemoPad 10.
Personally I dig the Taiwanese company’s strategy but dislike their execution; they had some serious problems bringing their Padfones to the market in a timely fashion. In fact, as I’m writing this, the Padfone 2 is still not available in most parts of the world. So we’re hoping this will change and that carriers will also embrace the concept despite their wishes to sell us two separate devices (and contracts) rather than one device that acts both as a phone and tablet.
Anyhow, here are few shots we caught while visiting ASUS’ booth in Barcelona.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
