ASUS Glides with Glide
PDA Phone
ASUS
has launched the ASUS P552w PDA phone, which features Glide – a
touch-responsive user interface. With features such as 3.5G HSDPA
connectivity, GPS, and Google integration, the device will target young,
tech-savvy professionals. It comes preinstalled with entertainment
applications like EziPhoto and EziMusic. Weighing
105g, the
phone will be offered in black or white colors.
Using
Gester technology, it’ll enable users to perform a variety of navigational
actions such as selecting, zooming, scrolling, and flipping through simple
flicks of their fingers. Incorporated into Glide are also applications
that enable users to access functions like looking up the latest news,
checking the weather forecast, viewing photo slideshows, and listening to
music. These applications are dubbed Multi-Home, Anytime Launcher,
EziPhoto, and EziMusic.
The ASUS
P552w comes with 624MHz CPU that helps applications and games run faster
and smooth video frames. It features 3.5G HSDPA (3.6Mbps) connectivity for
fast Internet browsing, file sharing, and TV program streaming.
It offers
Bluetooth, WLAN 802.11b/g, GPS, USB, and other connectivity standards to
enable easy data transfers to and from other devices.
The
product, says ASUS, features Google Maps, which not only facilitates
navigation, but is capable of furnishing users with information on points
of interest. Its navigation capabilities are further bolstered by a
feature known as ASUS SMS Location Link. With this feature, users at two
different locations can locate each other easily by sending each other SMS
messages.
Clicking
on the URLs, which are automatically embedded in the sent messages, will
link the phones up to Google Maps, which will then provide the users with
clear directions on how to get to each other’s positions. It also features
a convenient Google Search Bar on the Today screen that makes it easier to
perform online queries.
The ASUS
P552w carries applications that enable easy access to web content like RSS
newsfeeds, YouTube movies, and photos on Flickr.
