Asus has introduced a new PDA with an 800MHz processor in their smartphone lineup - P565. It was in the last decade that we used computers with Intel's 800MHz processors.
Asus claims it to be the world's first PDA phone with an 800MHz Marvell-TavorP processor; it also features a Asus Glide User Interface, which eliminates the necessity of a keyboard.
The Asus P565 comes with a 2.8-inch VGA touchscreen with 480x640 resolution and sports a Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with the memory support of a 128MB DDR SDRAM and 256MB Flash memory. It also offers the usual features like tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE network support, UMTS, 3.6Mbps HSDPA, a 3 megapixel camera, MicroSD with SDHC support, WiFi, Bluetooth, and SIRF III GPS support.
Asus is pinning their hopes on their new Glide user interface designed for a touch-sensitive response when zooming, selecting, flipping, etc. Asus claims that P565 has Vsbenchmark scores almost two times that of other competing handsets. Also, Asus has designed the battery backlid protection with a leather cover similar to that found in Blackberry Bold. The phone is pre-loaded with business-friendly features like push email, MS Office Mobile, Anytime Launcher, Multi-Home, business card recognition, PDF viewer, etc.
Finally, P565 features a 1300mAh lithium-ion battery offering three hours talk time on 3G and four hours over 2G.
Since Asus has launched the Glide UI-based P522w last month, a new P565 ideally can't be expected within the next three months. We'll keep you updated as we get to know more about it.
