It’s taken us awhile, but we finally did it: A few weeks ago, we broke down and got our first ever smartphone. And man, what a difference the whole thing has made. We’re now … well, it would be kind of pointless to tell you all exactly what we’re doing with the smartphone seeing as just about EVERYONE, EVER has been using them for years now. But, suffice it to say, our mind is blown and we are in a gadget frame of mind. So when we stumbled onto this article over at Men’s Health about the various amazing gadgets on display at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, well, we just had to share it.
Padfone
Of the bunch that has us most excited has to be this two-in-one tablet thing:
Asus Padfone
Here’s a problem I bet you didn’t know you had: You have a tablet, you have a smartphone—what’s on one is never really on the other, right? Asus’ novel solution is to make a tablet with a dock for the phone, so you just plug in and start tableting! It’s like a screen-embiggener! It eliminates the need for multiple downloading of apps, disparate content between them, and a host of other problems that come with our increasing reliance on multiple devices.
Ask us if we were interested in this a few weeks ago, and we would have ignored you, said it wasn’t really an issue for us, and then got back to typing out a text message on our crappy phone to someone who sent a photo message, alerting them to the fact that they’d have to email it instead. But now! I didn’t even know this was a problem you could have, having TOO MANY screens. And now I do, and I want that problem to be solved.
