They’ve released a little teaser video using a matryoshka doll as a metaphor for the Padfone’s unique design which allows you to dock the phone inside its accompanying tablet for larger viewing. The video refers to the functionality of a phone + a tablet + a keyboard dock for endless possibilities and is a refreshing break from the same old designs we’re used to seeing.
