ASUS P565 with 800MHz processor
We didn't catch this tidbit from sister site CNET Taiwan till now, but hey, better late than never. At a Microsoft Windows Mobile (WM) 6.1 event held in Taiwan, an ASUS P565 device was showcased. This handheld is not unlike the P552w announced earlier this month and has a 2.8-inch display, 128MB RAM, 3.5G and Wi-Fi connectivity. What makes it different is the use of an 800MHz Marvell processor, a first on any WM PDA-phone.
Granted, clock speed is not the be all and end all of performance, but given the fact that ASUS will be putting in its own Glide custom user interface, it wouldn't hurt to throw in more processing power to make that run smoother. That's all there is to know about this P565 for now. We'll bring you more information as it becomes available.
