Asus PDA Reviews

"The company sticks close to the tradition of launching GPS-enabled PDAs (the A686, the A696), and Asus A626 can be regarded as an addition to this range...The company positions the MyPal A626 as “pure PDA”, as it is the line-up’s junior model having no GPS-module onboard...The A626’s sales package is extremely unpretentious, including only the essentials...The asymmetrically placed display (if put the device in vertical position, it will be a bit closer to the right spine) serves as just another proof that landscape setup is intended for the A626...At the end of the day, HP iPAQ hx2190 has to be the A626’s closest rival, however today it costs about 280 USD..." read more »

"GPS receiver, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth...Expensive...For a PDA that's got it all, look no further than the ASUS MyPal A636N...The A636N's GPS capabilities are seamlessly integrated into the handheld, which includes a swivel antenna that collapses neatly onto the back of the unit when not in use...The A636N also offers voice directions via the loud and crisp front speaker, letting you keep your eyes on the road...ASUS includes some handy GPS peripherals with the A636N,..." read more »

"The most powerful Today plug-in with tabs...1 best selling Asus MyPal A639 program at Handango in 2005 and 2006...The winner of Microsoft Mobile2Market 2005 contest as the best Asus MyPal A639 program...After installing Spb Pocket Plus you will find more than 40 additional commands that you can assign to hardware buttons in the Start->Settings->Personal->Buttons..." read more »

"One of them is the A696, a good looking device with its brushed metal face...The A696's 3.5-inch, 240 x 320 LCD should be sufficient for in-car navigation duties when used in landscape mode...Packing Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity and Asus' Remote Presenter application, the A696 should appeal to both corporate warriors, who have to present Powerpoint presentations, and those wanting to listen to music on their Bluetooth headphones...There's also Wi-Fi connectivity, as the A696 comes with 802.11b/g...The rest of the package is pretty much class standard, like the internals: a 416MHz Intel Xscale processor, 256MB of flash ROM and 64MB of SDRAM..." read more »

"Another in the series of mobile phone comparisons matches up the HTC Touch Diamond as compared to the Asus M530w...One of the sharpest looking phones on the market that’s what the HTC Touch diamond is...On the other hand is the Asus M530, which when you first look at it resembles a Blackberry...The Asus M530w is an outstanding phone that is quick and has a good camera and a nice display, the best catch to this mobile phone is the fact it has that QWERTY keyboard, if you love to text this is a must..." read more »

"On its Web site, Asus claims you can get up to 19 hours of continuous use from the Mypal A620...We did, of course, ask ourselves why the battery life of the Mypal A620 is shorter than the model it replaces, despite the higher capacity battery and power-saving processor...It seems that another current consuming device in the Mypal A620 is drawing serious amounts of power...The Mypal A620 displays a good turn of speed in this practical test (synchronizing 1600 address book contacts via USB..." read more »

"Mobile-Review Reviews the Asus A636 and its Insane Battery Life...In the read mode (auto scrolling in Haali Reader, the lowest backlight level and the lowest clock rate) the A636 lasted for 35 hours 50 minutes on a single charge...And don't forget that the A636 is equipped with Intel XScale processor and not the efficient TI, and the battery capacity is far from 3600 mAh..." read more »

"Ladies and gentleman, here is another review of a Pocket PC device with the ASUS brand on its silver body...It comes in one piece, is made of plastic and although it is not extremely good-looking, it is highly convenient...Two rubber stripes on the bottom side and heavy weight give it good stability...Overall, I would say the case is sufficient, if you do not have special requirements...The dimensions of 3.07 x 5.31 x 0.69 inches (78 x 135 x 17.6 millimetres) make Asus A716 one of the larger Pocket PCs on the market..." read more »

"The others have been rather undeservedly neglected, which is especially the case of Asus MyPal A730...The Asus MyPal A730 will be available in two versions...By Asus's decision, the A730 does not feature the latest technologies available (applies to this version in particular...The diagonal of 3.7 inches (94 millimetres) appears as a good compromise between a convenient size of a VGA display and a convenient size of the device..." read more »
