Hands-on with ASUS' GPS-enabled P526
ASUS launched a new PDA / cellphone / GPS combo monster yesterday, so say "hello" to the non-3G ASUS P526 "Pegasus." We feel like we keep missing the holy grail of smartphones by a hair -- we can only hope the next arrival in the family will fill that 3G shortfall. The new kid on the block from ASUS does pack quite a kick otherwise, with quad-band EDGE connectivity, WiFi, 2 megapixel camera, and all of that loaded into a 115 gram package. The P526 sports a scroll wheel on the left side for easy one-handed control, and we are lovin' the GPS in the form of the SiRFStar III chipset, but saldly no word on bundled software in the deal. Since this is a new handset, we expected Windows Mobile 6 Professional and ASUS didn't disappoint on that front. Check the gallery for more shots of this little wonder.

Hey, where is joystick? P525 has it, P526 - not? Device is useless for gaming? :)

It's going to have a jogwheel on the left hand side. I'm curious about the cnet specs which say there's an onboard clash even though pictures of the back of it so far don't show anything that could be a flash.
And when is this it going to be out?
