Pegasus – new PDA Phone from Asus

By Staska on 17 Jan 07

Asustek is getting serious about improving the looks of its cellular handsets. One example of such efforts is Asus Z801 Karaoke Phone. Now it looks like it has another beauty – new PDA phone – in the works. And even before it was officially announced, this smartphone already managed to snatch one of the most prestigious design awards. At least that’s what the iF Design Awards product gallery is telling us.

Named Pegasus this super slim (15.4 mm) Windows Mobile gadget combines phone, PDA and GPS navigation system into one sleek package. It has a numeric keypad, jog dial and allows for simple one handed control. The camera body is finished with brushed aluminum and diamond-cut edges to accentuate superior taste and a feeling of luxury.

No further details are available at this time. But it’s almost as good looking though much more functional then the new LG Prada KE850 TouchScreen cellphone and the name of this PDA phone (Pegasus was the original name of Asustek. They dropped first 3 letters for higher directory listings) makes me wonder just what plans Asus has for Pegasus future

nothing…exceptional… N95 is still the best one.

Yeh, I have to agree with that one. It will actually depend on the size of the thing whether I buy it or not, but I think Nokia N95 is the best among the smartphones so far.

Of course when iPhone (especially the next gen. one in about 18 moths) comes out it will change the game completely.

Hey Adam: smartphone, Palmphone, PDAphone, PDA + GSM system or even multimedia computer (as Nokia calls them). I don’t really care As long as they do what I want them to do. And Nokia N95/Pegasus functions are pretty similar, they both even have GPS navigation built-in. The only difference I see is that one runs on Symbian and another on Windows Mobile OS. BTW, Pegasus is most definitely not a Palmphone, Pocket PC phone would be closer, check the backcover on the photo

MY STRONG OPINION: N95 isn’t better than PegAsus!
1. Smaller display (2.6″ versus 2.8″)
2. Very weak battery for this functionality – 950mAh. I suppose it won’t live even one working day if using all functions!!! ASUS is the best in battery life!
3. Symbian OS needs more powerful processor than WinMobile, and I suppose that this Nokia will not be so fast as PegAsus. It’s my IMHO based on previous N-series implementations.
4. I still don’t see AD2P bluetooth-stereo profile in the N-Series. This device seems like also doesn’t have it. ASUS has!
5. … will add more when more detailed specs of both devices will be known.

Well, I guess it depends on personal preferences and also on what you are looking for – Smartphone or PDA
I admit I have a little weakness for Nokia and little things, like dedicated music and camera controls are pretty important for me.
But Asus Pegasus seems to really blur the line between the phone and PDA. But we will have to wait for official announcement to see how the specs compare.
Unfortunately I will probably buy N95 before Pegasus is launche . Actually I’m just waiting for N95 to come out and if it’s not too bulky I’m buying one.

Personally I can’t wait for this to be released.

â€¢ It’s a touch screen Windows PDA, with a numeric PHONE keypad (not a tiny QWERTY which HTC and Blackberry seem obsessed with).
â€¢ It’ll sync beautifully with Microsoft XP/Vista (unlike the iPhone), and be able to edit pretty much all the files types you normally use at home/work.
â€¢ There are already more applications available than for any other OS, including TomTom, which should interface nicely with the inbuilt GPS. Plus 802.11(g?) for WAN, and BT2 for streaming wireless audio (AD2P).
â€¢ Construction should be awesome thanks to the slim, solid, metal case, and Asus really are reknowned for their battery performance.
â€¢ The 2MPix is enough for realistic day-to-day happy-snaps, but Asus’s scanner function is a novel extra.
â€¢ If this follows on from the P525, it will also work as a Mass Storage Device (so no need to run through Active-sync), though USB-OTG would be a bonus (like the Loox T830).

OK – rant over – like I said, I can’t wait !!!
