TransPhone Pro comes with improved hardware, still trails the Padfone

Remember TransPhone, the device that we described as poor man’s Padfone? It’s been update with the new Pro model boasting slightly improved specs, including the higher resolution phone screen (960×540 instead of 800×480 pixels, both 3.5-inch ones), and tablet screen (1024×600 instead of 800×480 pixels). In addition, there’s a faster 1GHz dual-core processor under the hood (versus 800MHz the original TransPhone has), as well as 1GB of RAM, 4GB of built-in storage, while Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (rather than Gingerbread) is running the show.

As for the price, the TransPhone Pro is now available for pre-order for $239.99 with first shipments beginning in late March or early April.
