Apple may be grabbing headlines for its amazing design, but when it comes to sheer hardware innovation, Asus has not been doing too badly for the past few years.

The company, like Motorola, seems out to prove that one can do a whole lot more with the form factors of tablets and smartphones. It made the headlines with the Transformer which parked a detachable keyboard alongside a tablet, giving it a notebook-like form factor and then followed it up with the sleeker and much better specced Transformer Prime. And with the PadFone, it has taken the Transformer concept to a whole new level.
