ASUS' XScale PDAs

Over at the ASUS booth we saw quite an interesting piece of hardware. As you may know, ASUS has been hitting the mobile market hard with their ASUS line laptops and mobile solutions. Computex 2002 brings the arrival of a new ASUS mobile device: the MyPal A600.

The MyPal A600 is a XScale based PDA solution and happens to be the first one we have seen. Based on the 400MHz PXA250 XScale CPU, the MyPal A600 is certainly large step forward for PocketPCs. The product boasts impressive specs, including: a 3.5 inch, 240x320 pixel, 65,536 color, 3.3 inch TFT LCD; an internal SD/MMC slot; 64MB RAM; 32MB flash ROM, and; up to 12 hours of battery life.

The features are certainly there, but what is really special about the ASUS MyPal A600 is its size. At 4.92" x 2.95" x 0.5", the MyPal A600 is significantly smaller than other PocketPC solutions currently on the market. Naturally, a package this small also has a very low weight: the MyPal A600 weighs in at a mere 5.3 ounces. Take a look at the table below and see why we were excited to hear that the MyPal 600 will be available in about a month and will be shipping to the US.
