Here is an article well worth reading! Designing For Smartwatches And Wearables To Enhance Real-Life Experience

Great to hear my posted experience is helping others. That's kind of the reason I desided to post it. The fact that when I was caring for my father I was kind of locked into staying around the house allowed me to share. It is a great device if used as designed with another phone; albeit...

As the other poster said, I've always been told to "cycle" new batteries from full charge to empty a few times to insure a long life. It's alawys worked for me. I've never had battery issues, but can't say if this is an "old wives tail" or not? I do see experienced posters working for this...

No rainbows here! Just looking for practical functionality that makes my life easier, not more complicated. The Asus Padfone X Mini was right in line with my needs of a smaller sized phone (4.5") that fits in my pocket that will function with the current wearables being produced, because of...

I don't know if I can help you, but maybe you can help me. Lol... First off, I tried the Samsung Galaxy Gear S which does it all, but found it to be heavy on my wrist and it made my wrist sweat. Its' looks are liked by some and not others. Some think it is too big, but I didn't. I tried to...

I just ordered a Garmin VivoSMART on eBay specifically for the notification features. I tried the Samsung Gear S, but it was way more than I needed. The small light weight form factor semi-smart watch is the sweet spot for me (I think). It will arrive in a week or so. The VivoSMART stood out...

Re: So is the 7" Mini reliable or are you having the same issues I'm reading in the 9" X Padfone? AT&T customer service left a bad taste in my mouth. No longer a customer. Thus, returned this item for a full defective DOA refund (SIM card tray defective), because it only works on their...

While I wait for the early March new product announcements to actually come out, I'm going to give the Asus Padfone X Mini a try (only $150 at WallyWorld). Interesting concept and might get me using the mapping GPS features on a screen I can actually see at a dashs arm length from my face. May...

That's a good sign that Sony is on top of things and making changes for the better, not the other way around. Go Sony!

Re: So is the 7" Mini reliable or are you having the same issues I'm reading in the 9" X Padfone? The Padfone arrived and looks/feels good in the hand. Backing is plan black plastic, but both devices have a quality solidness to them. Charged them up together for 8 hours as recommended, then...

I'm gong to take the Asus Padfone X Mini for a test drive because it's so cheap ($150), to see if this form factor can really do what I hope it can for me; even with its' low-end spec's...

Re: So is the 7" Mini reliable or are you having the same issues I'm reading in the 9" X Padfone? I guess I will find out... Okay, there’s not a lot of love out there for this device. I get it. It’s not a Porsche Turbo, it’s a Honda Element (the transformer of cars). It’s not high-end, it’s...

And I thought that was the end of my dogs pooper-scooper! Lol... (just happy a laugh) ;)

So is the 7" Mini reliable or are you having the same issues I'm reading in the 9" X Padfone? See title! Lol... Love the concept, but not sure I can ahndle the Asus experience I'm reading about... Is anyone completely trouble free? Never had a single issue with any of my past cell phones...

Thanks everyone! I won't be getting this phone, even though the "concept" is really great.
