Asus A696 is one steely PDA
Jul 1, 07 10:05 PM PDT
Not many people carry around PDAs these days, but Asus is still tapping the market by introducing the A696. This PDA is extremely slim and boasts an integrated GPS navigation system as well, all packed into a stainless steel case that is easy on the eye. Features include a 3.5" touchscreen display, WiFi connectivity, Bluetooh 2.0 support, and an SD memory card slot. Of course, you can still use the A696 to make and receive phone calls, but it would've been a nice touch if Asus threw in 3G connectivity as well. Strange to see the Asus A696 run on Windows Mobile 5.0 though, especially when everyone else have already moved on to Windows Mobile 6.0. The Asus A696 will retail for $400 when released this month. I suppose most of Joe Public will emit a “meh” and fall for the iPhone instead.

It does not come with the navigation software. Beware!
