[Sponsored Video] Asus And Intel Present: Fonepad is calling! Perfect Combination of tablet and smartphone, powered by Intel Inside!

Nowadays, smartphone and tablet have become part and parcel in our life because these gadgets have made our life more convenient than ever. Smartphone is very easy to be carried around but tablet has a bigger screen which eases the users in reading or doing their works. Thus, it has always become a dilemma for the consumers in choosing whether to get a smartphone or a tablet. Of course, getting them both would be a good idea but it will be costly to own two devices separately. So, what is the solution for everyone?

With the collaboration between Asus and Intel, they now present an alternative for everyone who wishes to utilize both categories of device at the same time, #fonepadiscalling! The Asus Fonepad series with intel inside combines the capability of a tablet and the convenience of smartphone together into one! 




Life is a mashup of family, friends, work and play! If we could make it all connected in our worlds, why we do we need to keep our devices separated? Let’s watch the video and get inspired!

Asus Fonepad with Intel Inside! Announcement of “Fonepad is Calling” Campaign!

“Is one device able to fit your personal, social and professional life?”

The campaign will run from 20^th November 2013 onwards until the end of February 2014 and its aim is to expose the people more regarding the emerging category of device which is believed to be one of the leaders in this era of technology!

The campaign supports two brand new Android tablets with 3G telephony features that are recently launched, namely ASUS Fonepad Note 6 and ASUS Fonepad 7. Both of these spectacular tablets are are powered by Intel.

Fonepad Note 6 running the Intel Atom™ processor Z2580.

Fonepad 7 running the Intel Atom processor Z2560.

These two new Fonepad models were announced during IFA in Berlin, Germany on 4^th September 2013. They are both the innovative gadgets in the emerging category of phablets!

The “Fonepad is Calling” campaign is an extension of Intel’s collaboration with ASUS.

The “Fonepad is Calling” online video is the main limelight of the campaign. It provides inspirations to the consumers and educates them regarding how well Fonapad could fit in into their life. The Fonepad is a masterpiece, which combines the greatness of both tablet and smartphone. It allows the consumers to seamlessly move between their personal, social and professional life.

Some of the features of the campaign video include:

-Real-life characters of different ages and professions

-Slightly exaggerated contexts were used to highlight the seamless transformative moment when people receive phone calls while using a gadget which traditionally only has tablet functionality.

-The benefits of multitasking has been showcased for a wide range of people with totally different professions – from businessmen to teenagers, from a bomb squad to a loving couple, from Chinese granny to dentist! This is a creative way of demonstrating the product’s features rather than the usual ways of presenting it in a long list.

- International cast of comic actors were starred in this video. They took the script to a whole different level!

- Prioritizes on online placements in order to engage the millennials where they are!

The Prominent Growth of Phablet Market!

The combination of the words ‘phone’ and ‘tablet’ gives us the new term, the Phablet! It comprises of a smartphone with a five inches or larger screen size. It is expected to be a hit this holiday season!

Jeff Yang, the Asus Marketing Director said, “ASUS design thinking philosophy begins with the idea that technology must adapt to our ever-changing lifestyles, and not the other way around - this is why ASUS was one of the first companies to launch a 7-inch phablet globally.”  

“Phablets are still a new form factor, so there is a real opportunity to spark conversations to answer the many questions that still linger in consumer’s minds. Questions like ‘is one device all I need,’ or ‘is there such a thing as too big’ or ‘am I really buying a phone, or a tablet?’ In order to encourage millennials to have these conversations, we have worked hard to ensure ‘Fonepad is Calling’ is entertaining, social by design and omni-channel. It will be fun watching the debate take shape.”

“With Intel Inside, the ASUS Fonepad Note 6 and ASUS Fonepad 7 offer the amazing combination of a phone and a tablet in one device, as a convenient option for the growing number of consumers who spend more time on their smart phones consuming social media, music and games rather than on voice calls. We believe people will easily see the value of this innovative form factor through the ‘Fonepad is Calling’ campaign.” stated Ryan Baker, Intel Global Partner Marketing.

There are many potential talents in Malaysia. However, a lot of them were left undiscovered due to the lack of opportunities to progress and soar in a specific career. To optimize the Malaysia talents as well as facilitating the awareness among the public regarding the career opportunities in priority sectors under the 11 National Key Economic Areas (NKEAs), Talent Corporation Malaysia Berhad (TalentCorp) has taken the strategy to host a Sector Focus Career Fair (SFCF) last week (12^th November 2013) at University Teknologi Mara (UITM).

This event was officiated by YB Senator Dato’ Sri Abdul Wahid Bin Omar, Minister in the Prime Minister’s department and it was a joint effort between TalentCorp, Graduan, MDeC and UiTM. Shared Services and Outsourcing (SSO) was the main topic during the fair.

During the dialogue session at the SFCF, Dato’s Sri Wahid has shared his thoughts regarding Malaysia’s socioeconomic development. He voiced out that in order to achieve the vision of a transformed economy, measures need to be taken such as formulation of effective policies, development of programmes through outcome based approach, strengthening of efficiency and professionalism and establishment of organizational capacities for effective services delivery. The Shared Services and Outsourcing will be a “key” to move the economy of Malaysia forward.

On the other hand, CEO of TalentCorp,  Johan Mahmood Merican stated that the success of Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) is very dependent on having the right quantity and quality of talents. The SFCF was aimed to provide more exposure and attract the young yet talented Malaysian graduates to pursue the exciting career in the rapidly growing shared services sector. Shared services can bring along a “kill two birds with one stone” impact as it will not only allow young graduates to enjoy themselves in an international experience right here in Malaysia but also allow them to contribute to the success of the industry and Malaysia’s transformation.

More than 30 companies have supported the SFCF UiTM programme. Some of the notable companies include AIG, DHL, Electrolux, Frost & Sullivan, GlaxoSmithKline, HP, IBM, LaFarge, Sime Darby and PwC.

In addition, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of Student Affairs of UiTM, Professor Dato’ Dr. Abdullah Mohammed Said has shared with the public regarding UiTM vision in establishing its reputation as a premier university of academic excellence. UiTM has the target to enhance the knowledge and expertise of talents in all fileds via their professional programmes, research work and community service programmes. Regarding this sector focused career fair, he stated that it has acted as a solid reference and resource for their students to discover critical industries such as SSO.

It is not often that the graduates can meet with CEOs and senior HR representatives of a few renowned companies. However, the SFCF has granted the graduates with this golden opportunity as well as providing a route for the companies to scout for potential talents from universities in Malaysia. The undergraduates were also able to learn more regarding the developing sectors in Malaysia while the companies were able to educate the public regarding industry developments, sectoral branding and ultimately, regarding SSO sector.

The two-day event has involved Career Talks and Couch Corner Slot. Both of these have allowed the younger generations to interact with the industry leaders and the companies under a comfortable atmosphere with informative inputs.
