Asus P552w 3.5G HSDPA PDA Smartphone with Touch Responsive Glide Interface

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.
