It looks like Asus is not stopping short of trying to pull a one up in the tablet and smartphone arena. We've seen the innovative Asus Transformer recently and we knew that the company was working on some kind of a phone/tablet combo which they planned on revealing at Computex tomorrow. Well, it looks like we're getting a sneak peak thanks to the folks over at Pocketnow. They managed to get some lovely screenshots of the device and we've gotta say, it looks pretty cool. As you can see, the device seamlessly docks into a slot on the backside of the brainless tablet. According to Pocketnow, the device will most likely be available in two different colors, copper and black. The pics also reveal that when the handset is tucked away into the tablet the camera lens will show through a whole on the backside of the tab while being fully protected. Of course, no word yet on what the device will run you or when it'll be released, but stay tuned because we'll find out soon enough. Check out the pics below after the break and don't forget to let us know what you think in the comments below.

Update:
The awesome folks over at Engadget happened to snag some quick video of a mock up.

My question is,
Can the Pad and keyboard dock be used like the Transformer Prime with WiFi WITHOUT the phone? Or is EVERYTHING reliant on the smart phones internals?
You can better name it:
a kangaroo tablet
pregnant tablet
mother tablet
etc.
either way apples gonna sue cuz its got the words pad and phone in it so it must be a copy watch out!! lol
That’s something I would buy. Pity I just bought a samsung 10.1v
There is going to be a tablet war and prices will drop, if you see how many company’s making a tablet
I had this idea the first time I held a iPhone. Worked on it with my nexus and evo, gave up when I bought my atrix. Then realized that I didn’t have a tablet still so decided to work on a generic tablet.
Anyone notice the center bottom photo the tablet is on a keyboard. Here is what it will be. Phone docks tablet. Tablet docks keyboard. Asus already does the later with the transformer.
phone, tablet, laptop.
