Asus PadFone Mini is now official

Teaser
The smaller alternative to the PadFone Infinity brings together a 4.3-inch phone and a 7-inch tablet, confirming all the recent rumors regarding its specs and features.

The rumors have been confirmed and Asus revealed the PadFone Mini in Taiwan as a cheaper alternative to the PadFone Infinity. The specs and features have been pushed down a bit to match the price, but the Asus PadFone Mini surely remains a tempting device at roughly $405 off-contract (for the Taiwanese market).
