Upcoming GPS PDA-phones from Asus

John Chan | Aug 17, 2007

We have gotten word from Asus that new Windows Mobile handhelds will be coming soon. The two models that will be released at the end of the year are the P750 and P527.

The P750 is the successor of the P735 3G PDA-phone. This new version has connectivity options aplenty. This includes GPS and also HSDPA, a first for an Asus handheld. The company was unable to release photos of the device at this point, but an earlier report from the::unwired had a leaked photo, which revealed that this would have a keypad though the earlier P735 did not.

The other device coming is the P527. This is the follow-up model of the P526, and is also a GPS-enabled model with a numeric keypad. Details about its specifications are currently scant, but Asus did reveal that it will come with Travelog, a bundled application that lets users tag their journeys with photos and memos, as well as integrate with Google Earth so friends can track your travels. As with the P750, no images are available yet, but we will provide an update as soon as those come our way.
