The Asus PadFone 2 shifts from phone to tablet.

Looks like Microsoft has some good news coming its way. Apparently Asustek Computer is close to committing to putting serious resources behind the Windows Phone 8 mobile platform. Specifically, the Taiwanese electronics maker plans to begin creating phones that run WP8.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Asustek (commonly known as Asus) will push for mobile carrier adoption in the U.S., which would be a first for the company. Asus may even be working on a WP8 version of its PadFone gadget, a wacky tablet and smartphone combo.
