Shih also predicted mobile devices will surpass its PC component business in revenue by 2017.

By "mobile devices" I'm assuming he means tablets. Strange as they are I (unfortunately) don't see the Padfone doing much in the way of sales. Love the idea that you just dock the phone to get a tablet that still isn't "tethered" so not subject to the restrictions that the teleco's place. Plus Asus tend to underplay their customisations of Android, so you get a pretty much stock experience.

Put it this way, Intel-powered phones, and ones that can convert to tablets is a heck of a lot more "innovative" than merely upsizing last year's model, adding more bloat and whacking in a (useless) fingerprint scanner.
