Padfone 2 still not announced, already news about Padfone 3?

Author Marc Schattorie Sunday 23 September 2012 - 13:19:21 Comments: 2

A couple days ago we got official word of the announcement of the Padfoen 2 on October 16th. Today we have information about the Padfone 3.

According to a user on our forum a Taiwanese newspaper reported that the CEO of Asus (Jerry Shen) mentioned the Padfone 3.

Usually we are very careful with posting things like this, but this time there could be a possible truth factor in this story.
According to the article, Asus wants to support Windows Phone 8 ~~with the Padfone 3(?)~~. The Padfone 3 is currently in development. It will of course also rely on high end specifications and is expected to be released by the end of the first quarter of 2013.

The current specs of the phone could run the os and Asus wants a piece of the WP8 pie. All I can say is BRING IT ON!!! Location: No Cal as in Northern California

It's not really clear if they meant that the PF3 will get WP8... But it seems clear that they want to create phones with WP8...
