Johannesburg, 07 Dec 2006

ASUSTeK Computer Inc today announced the P535 tri-band PDA phone, which incorporates full wireless functionality, GPS and high quality auto-focus camera in a compact form factor, offering a comprehensive spread of business and lifestyle applications in an exceedingly handy platform.

Staying connected

The P535 helps the business executive stay connected while on the move, offering push e-mail, Internet access, off-site synchronisation of calendar and contact information over wireless (802.11b+g) or mobile phone GPRS networks. Coupled with the ability to view and edit Office documents, the P535 is the indispensable power tool of the mobile, dynamic workspace.

Integrated GPS

Originally developed for military use, Global Positioning System now has a wide range of civilian applications, for both work and play. Navigating appointment venues in a foreign land, tracking distance and speeds on road trips, treks or while jogging - the P535 offers the wonders of GPS in a compact, handy form factor.

Integrated auto-focus camera

The P535's integrated auto-focus 2.0-megapixel camera is not only capable of high quality pictures, it's also a business card scanner, picking up contact details off photographed business cards in a snap - especially convenient when attending business conventions.

Easy encryption

ASUS has packed the P535 with proprietary user-friendly software and features. Among the most useful, is the Secret Folder, through which the user can encrypt and protect sensitive personal or business information from prying eyes.

Leading platform

Underlying the P535's many features, is the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system, the leading mobile platform with plenty of support and software available, full suite of multimedia playback functionality, and most importantly, the reliance on flash memory: data stored in the P535 remains stored, even if the P535 has lost all power.
