When ASUS are pushing out Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro 320 x 320 touchscreen smartphones with HSDPA, GPS, WiFi and a 3-megapixel camera, it hardly seems surprising that anticipation for Palm's upcoming WM Treo isn't that hot. The ASUS m536 manages to be slimmer than the Treo 750v (just 13.9mm) despite blowing it away feature-wise, and has a clever dual-purpose ... continued »

We bemoan smartphone display resolution quite often here at PHONE Magazine: manufacturers keep insisting on giving us QVGA displays, when we want VGA instead.  But a lot of the time, they're actually giving us VGA panels but forcing the resolution to be lower so as to smooth out fonts and icons.  What you need, then, is a team of industrious ... continued »

ASUS' addition to the budget Eee laptop range, which adds a larger, 8.9-inch 1024×600 screen as well as increased storage courtesy of SSD rather than flash memory (up to 12GB in fact), may get a WiMAX and/or HSDPA option this year.  In an interview with LAPTOP Magazine, ASUS CEO Jerry Shen revealed how only deals with carriers and, in the case of WiMAX, ... continued »

Undoubtedly the big news of the week has been Apple's iPhone SDK and Exchange announcements; not only has the company shown developers exactly what the SDK is capable of - thanks to some big screen demonstrations from their software friends - they've made it available for free download.  Apple have also managed to make Exchange sexy (well, almost), sending Microsoft ... continued »

Unwired View's Staska has spent some hands-on time with the P320 Galaxi Mini Windows Mobile smartphone from ASUS at CeBIT this week, and while much of the media's attention has been lavished onto its faster, eye-catching Lamborghini sibling, Staska has still come away impressed by the P320's capabilities.  Although 2.5G only - with quadband GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz), GPRS and EDGE - the Galaxi Mini ... continued »

ASUS have unveiled two HSDPA-equipped UMPCs at CeBIT 2008 today, and we were down on the show floor to snap some photos of the Windows Vista powered devices.  The R70, shown here, has a 1.6GHz processor, GPS, 3.5G radio and is rumored to pack a 120GB hard-drive; meanwhile, the R50 (shown after the cut) is a smaller UMPC with Intel's ... continued »

The Lamborghini brand isn’t one to take lightly so I sure hope for ASUS as well as Lamborghini that the ZX1 lives up two the brand. As far as I can tell, it isn’t too shabby considering there’s an iPhone-like ASUS touch user interface on a 2.8-inch TFT, 65K colors with a 240x320 pixels. The ZX1 is powered by a ... continued »
