Asus is just exploding all over the tablet scene. By my count this morning, they have four “regular” tablet devices, the Transformer Series (basically tiers from entry level to OMG). Then they have the Padfone series which are devices which allow you dock a phone INSIDE a tablet housing giving it access to the larger screen, storage, ports and a huge battery. Then finally they have some smaller form factor MeMo tablets (not my cup of tea, but some folks adore them.
