The Garmin-Asus M10 runs the latest version of Windows Mobile, version
6.5.3, which features upgrades that provide access to Windows
Marketplace for Mobile, offering a number of Windows phone applications
for download. It sports a 3.5-inch WVGA display with a Billboard
feature that displays the most important information so users can
review all at one glance. A 3D Task Manager also allows users to switch
between running applications. Keeping the phone responsive and the
navigation smooth are 512 RAM and 512 ROM, while 4GB of Flash memory
provides storage for multimedia and data.
"The Garmin-Asus M10 is our answer to people's need for work-life
balance," said Benson Lin, vice president and general manager of Asus'
personal mobile devices business unit, handheld business group. "The
M10 runs Windows Mobile, making it the ideal smartphone for business
use, while its smart navigation capabilities, comprehensive social
networking features and connected services enable users to lead a truly
smart lifestyle. The M10 is the phone for the new Smart3 era."
The M10 is equipped with a 1500 mAh battery for hours of uninterrupted
use, as well as a full QWERTY soft keyboard, HSDPA wireless
connectivity and Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g). In addition, the M10 can be
synched to Microsoft Exchange and is designed with location information
at its core-- navigation functions are linked to frequently used
applications such as calendar, contacts, e-mail, the Internet browser
and messaging.
The M10 also boasts a range of social capabilities, including access to
Facebook and Picasa Web Albums, as well as placing real-time
information on connected services such as weather, safety cameras,
traffic, flight status and fuel prices at users' fingertips. Rounding
out the package is a set of advanced navigation features equivalent to
a high-end Garmin n??vi navigation tool, such as lane assist with
junction view that guides drivers to the correct lane for an
approaching turn or exit and realistically displays road signs. It also
has highway mode that tells drivers the next three upcoming street
exits so they can plan ahead.
"The Garmin-Asus M10 is a powerful
time-saving tool that is designed for anyone who is tired of carrying numerous
devices and instead wants to carry one device that gives them many of the same
features found on a stand-alone phone, laptop, PND and digital camera," said Pemble.
