Asus Padfone Infinity Goes On Sale In The US

The Asus Padfone Infinity first showed up at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, earlier this year. Late last month, pre-orders for the Asus Padfone Infinity were opened, with an April release date confirmed. True to their word, Asus has started to ship the first batch of the Padfone Infinity stock.

 It looks like a retailer in the US has started to offer the Asus Padfone Infinity smartphone for $950. At that price point, it will obviously be accompanied by the tablet dock.
Since the first shipments of the Asus Padfone Infinity is already available in the US, it should also make its way to other markets soon. Like to folks living outside of the US where it will cost them a far more expensive €999.
