Asus have announced their new P552w smartphone which, in fusing 3.5G HSDPA connectivity with PDA and GPS functionality paired with Asus’s touch responsive Glide interface and full Google integration promises to ‘revolutionize the way users work, communicate and play’.
Powered by a 624MHz Marvell Tavor CPU, the Asus P552w PDA Smartphone sports a 2.8” 65K colour 240×320 resolution QVGA touch screen display, 3.5G HSDPA (3.6Mbps) data transfer allowing for fast internet browsing on the move as well as facilitating smooth video and audio streaming capabilities and thanks to integrated Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, WLAN 802.11b/g, inbuilt GPS and USB connectivity promises a high degree of connectivity with a wide range of supplementary devices.
Further highlights include the seamless integration of Google maps which, when used with the included Asus SMS Link feature can be used to guide two users at differing locations together with SMS based directions as well as the inclusion of EziPhoto and EziMusic applications offering a digital photo album with calendar and interactive music creation and playback respectively. Naturally, (and, lets face it, it goes without saying), the P552w also supports RSS feeds as well as online applications such as Youtube and Flickr.
