ASUS P565 with 800MHz processor

John Chan | Sep 23, 2008

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.

Looks promising, though again a copy-cat of any HTC devices in design and probably form factor.

ASUS could do better if they would combine their forces with some innovative R&D and Design teams. too bad its gonna be another drop in the ocean I am afraid.

Anyway- I look forward to test it
