AsUs, makers of the EeePc, is hoping to bring the same magic touch to Cell Phone-s by taking a totally opposite strategy: Instead of targeting consumers with limited computer experience and tight budgets, including seniors and children, [ASUS] is aiming directly for corporate road warriors. Instead of limited functionality, [ASUS]'s cellphone will offer just about everything but the kitchen sink. The smartphone, called the P527, recently popped up for sale in the U.S. [ASUS]'s charge into the North American market follows in the footsteps of fellow Taiwanese electronics company [HTC], which began raising its profile and manufacturing high-end cellphones under its own brand in 2007. [HTC] is expected to be the first company to manufacture a cellphone based on GooGle's AnDroid technology tools. The P527 costs $500+ (unlocked, not sold through any carriers yet), and uses Windows Mobile (blech).
