At Mobile World Congress today, Asus took the whole "phablet" concept to a new level with the Fonepad. It's got a 7-inch screen, which makes it way too big to hold comfortably to your ear, although the spokesperson in this video gives it a valiant effort. But as he explains, the Fonepad is really an Android tablet -- the company expects people to use it mostly for email, social networking, and gaming, with telephony as a secondary experience. If you really need to make a phone call, they suggest using a Bluetooth headset.
Equally interesting, the tablet is one of the first devices to run Intel's "Lexington" platform, based around its low-powered Atom Z240, which is the company's latest response to the popularity of ARM-based processors in mobile devices. It runs Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and will be available in Europe by the end of June for 219 Euro.

Enough with the silly myth about Apple hating the enterprise
Although Apple is often accused of not being an enterprise company, it's only in the last few years that Apple has abandoned its enterprise-oriented products. The real story may be that Apple's discovered that making enterprise-focused efforts simply don't deliver a huge return on investment.
