Remember the Asus Padfone? The phone that docks into a tablet and powers it? Asus did’t forget about that phone at all. As a matter of fact, they’re working on it, and they’re making it better than what we thought it was going to be.

There’s still no word on which OS it will be running. Now that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is available, we’re betting that it will be the OS. After all, Ice Cream Sandwich was designed to be run on both phones and tablets, and the Padfone is both, so it makes perfect sense!
