ASUS today launched the ASUS P552w PDA phone which
features Glide - an innovative touch-responsive user interface that
makes navigating and performing tasks on a mobile phone more intuitive
and interactive. The Glide system uses Windows Mobile 6.1
The ASUS 552w is equipped with a 624MHz processor and
a host of market-leading features such as 3.5G HSDPA connectivity, GPS
and seamless Google integration.
Incorporated
into Glide are also 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
within a few finger taps. These applications, dubbed Multi-Home,
Anytime Launcher, EziPhoto, and EziMusic, give the expression "the
world at your fingertips" a whole new meaning.
Underpinning
the ASUS P552w's revolutionary touch-responsive user interface is its
cutting-edge Gesture technology that enables users to perform a variety
of navigational actions - such as selecting, zooming, scrolling and
flipping - easily through simple flicks of their fingers.
The
ASUS P552w boasts one of the most powerful CPUs (624MHz) on the market
today. Apart from posting exceptional Vsbenchmark scores, the ASUS
P552w's real-world results are equally tangible - applications and
games run noticeably faster and video frame rates are markedly
smoother. The ASUS P552w also features 3.5G HSDPA (3.6Mbps)
connectivity for the fastest Internet browsing, file sharing and TV
program-streaming experience possible. Furthermore, it offers
Bluetooth, WLAN 802.11b/g, GPS, USB and other connectivity standards to
enable easy data transfers to and from other devices.
The ASUS
P552w features Google Maps* which not only facilitates navigation, but
is capable of furnishing users with information on points of interest.
The ASUS P552w's navigation capabilities are further bolstered by a
feature known as ASUS SMS Location Link. With this exclusive 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. The ASUS P552w also features a
convenient Google Search Bar on the Today screen that makes it easier
to perform online queries.
