Asustek Finally Launches Its Own Pocket PC
Known as a motherboard manufacturer, Taiwanese company has long been planning to enter the PDA market.
Sumner Lemon, IDG News Service
Taiwanese hardware maker Asustek Computer is gunning for a slice of the market for PDAs with the long-expected launch last month of its MyPal A600, based on Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002 software and a 400-MHz Xscale processor from Intel.
Asustek, in Taipei, is best known as one of the world's largest motherboard makers but has also made a name for itself selling laptops under its own brand in Asian markets like China and Taiwan.
The company has flirted with entering the PDA market for months, showing off prototype devices at the launch of the Chinese version of Microsoft's Pocket PC 2002 software last year and at the Computex exhibition in June.
Device Details
Measuring 2.9 inches wide by 4.9 inches tall by .5 inches thick, the MyPal A600 weighs 4.9 ounces.
Sporting a silver aluminum alloy case, it packs a 400-MHz PXA250 processor from Intel, 64MB of RAM, 32MB of flash ROM, a 3.5-inch TFT LCD with 240 pixel by 320 pixel resolution, and a battery that enables the device to run continuously for 15 hours, according to Asustek.
The MyPal A600 also offers a CF Compact Flash card slot alongside an infrared port and a serial port.
