Today, AsusTek unveiled its latest Windows Mobile Pocket PC Phone Edition - the Asus P735 - which allows users to make full use of its 3G capabilities and integrates network connectivity, video conferencing, multimedia applications and many other business functions. With a broad range of network connectivity options such as UMTS 2100 Mhz (only), GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 Mhz (but no GSM 850 MHz or EDGE), GPRS Class 10, WiFi b/+g and Bluetooth 2.0, the P735 allows the mobile executive to be truly connected.

The P735 is powered by Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC Phone Edition and features a Marvell Xscale CPU at 520 MHz, 256 MB Flash and 64 MB SDRAM memory which can be extended via miniSD flash memory cards.

The P735 is packed with many business applications to help make scheduling and working on the go simpler and more efficient. Utilizing the Windows Mobile Operating System platform, users can view and edit documents in Excel and Word. With Asus's Remote Presenter, users can control PowerPoint presentations stored on a notebook via a Bluetooth connection. They can even read the footnotes on the P735's screen as they are presenting.

Another added function to help save contacts easily is the P735's business card recognition feature. The in-built 2 megapixel auto-focus camera can pick out business card details and store them directly into the contacts section - omitting the need to carry all the business cards around.

"As phones become increasingly powerful, consumers are asking for one device that works for all aspects of life, in and out of the office," said Mr. Jason Lim, Regional Director, Asia Pacific and Japan, Mobile and Embedded Devices Division, Microsoft Corp. "With the Windows Mobile-powered P735, Asus is helping people make the professional and personal connections when and where they need them."

International teleconferencing meeting across up to three different time zones is now possible with the unique Meeting Planner. This innovative feature helps to eliminate the hassle of time converting and makes meeting scheduling more efficient than ever before.

The P735's built-in dual camera, rich audio and visual capabilities allow users to fully enjoy true multimedia capabilities. The P735 supports music playback for MP3, WMA, AAC and AAC+ file formats; and users can even enjoy multimedia streaming from the Internet.

Bundled in the P735 are exclusive Asus software that provide the user with a variety of helpful options. The My Secret function encrypts and protects sensitive documents away from unauthorized eyes when activated. The Asus Status feature keeps the user up to date with the status of the device; and the Profile function avoids embarrassing rings during meetings.

Neither availability nor estimated prices were announced today.
