FEATURES- MyPal A696 - Ultra Slim GPS PDA
Cased in Stainless Steel and packing the latest technology, the ASUS
A696 perfectly marries the twin worlds of consumer electronics and
high luxury!
To answer the needs of discerning consumers who require a highly
versatile and functional PDA, ASUS has launched the A696 ultra-slim
GPS PDA. This palm-sized wonder is of a high standard of design and
quality and cater to the user's expectations for personal
accessories.
Standing distinct from most of the PDAs on the market, the ASUS
a696 is not only ultra-slim at only 1.57cm, it incorporates full
GPS functionality without the protruding antenna, and is encased in
stainless steel instead of plastic. Together with the anti-glare
touch screen, the A696 exudes a solid and high quality feel
expected of luxury accessories.
* Global Positioning
Global Positioning System (GPS) puts an end to fumbling with maps and
compass by harnessing satellite technology to pinpoint one's precise
location, and other trip information. No mere gimmick, A696 has a great
variety of everyday applications like trip planning and navigating
venues, taking users anywhere, for both fun and work.
On the A696, GPS technology comes in an extremely slim PDA with embedded
antenna discreetly hidden from view, and the information is displayed on
an anti-glare 3.5-inch color screen providing a better view while
driving. In addition, the A696's GPS module uses the latest energy-
efficient SiRF Star III chipset, enabling accurate navigation over
extended periods.
* Pocket Power
In situations where a notebook computer is too much to carry, the
A696 can get much work done: wireless capability Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g)
keeps the executive connected to email, the Internet and corporate
networks while Bluetooth 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate speeds up data
exchange with a huge range of digital peripherals (phones, printers,
etc.) by up to two to three times over conventional Bluetooth; with
ASUS's user-friendly application "Remote Presenter", it can also be
easily used to link and control presentations on a computer via
Bluetooth. Most critically for a workhorse handheld, all data are stored
in Flash memory, so precious information remain stored even if all
battery power in the handheld has drained away.
* Entertainment
Running on Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, the A696 is also a true
multimedia handheld with front-mounted speakers, that plays video and
audio formats (.WMV, .WMA, .MP3..etc), as well as the huge library of
games available for the Pocket PC platform. It's simply the most
versatile mobile entertainment gadget for its size.
Combining a powerful suite of applications into an ultra-slim PDA that
exudes a high-quality feel, the ASUS A696 is the power accessory of
choice for the well-heeled and well-traveled.
