Remember the Asus Padfone, that tablet with the Android 4.0 smartphone that docks inside? We just got our hands on the latest prototype at CES 2012, and here's what it looks like up close. Both the hardware and software are pretty rough around the edges — and the prototypes are a little hollow right now — but that's definitely Android 4.0 under the hood, and we spotted that Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 chip in the settings screen before we were politely asked to put the device down. We're hoping to see a more final version next month at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Update: Turns out there's another reason Asus didn't really want us to touch: the company says the physical design of the Padfone will change, smoothing out some of the curves, before the device debuts at Mobile World Congress next month.
