ASUS has sent out "save the date" notes for the launch of its Padfone 2 hybrid device. The second generation of the quirky smartphone with a tablet suit will break cover on October 16 at events in Taipei, Taiwan and Milano, Italy.

The specifications of the upcoming device are yet to be known. Rumor has it that the newcomer will pack a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, 2GB of RAM and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich - a significant boost over the hardware of the original.
While the ASUS Padfone 2's chipset is likely spot-on in the rumors, we doubt that we'll see the device launch with Android 4.0. Given that ASUS is the maker of the Google Nexus 7, it will be a surprise not to see Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on the company’s upcoming flagship.
