ASUS
Introduces Business PDA Phone
The
ASUS P565, a business PDA phone, comes with an 800 MHz processor, which
is claimed to be the fastest in the world. Featuring ASUS’ touch-driven
user interface—Glide—the P565 promises to deliver good graphics and
system performance. Will target business people.

pixels. This will help consumers to have better photographs and minute
details in business documents, such as the individual cells in
spreadsheets, are reproduced much more clearly—reducing eye fatigue over
periods of prolonged use.

to multitasking, while Glide will enable users to switch between tasks
rapidly with their fingertips.
The
P565 also comes with a potent suite of business-oriented features and
software, including push mail, business card recognition, and Microsoft
Office Mobile. Other applications such as Anytime Launcher and
Multi-Home will enable users to view their calendars, the times of local
and visiting cities, weather reports, and online news.
The
PDA’s battery lid is lined with black synthetic leather.

according to the company, is a touch-responsive user interface that
enables users to perform a variety of navigational actions—such as
selecting, zooming, scrolling, and flipping—easily through simple flicks
of their fingers.

also offers applications that enable users to access a wide range of
functions such as 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
