When a huge companies which are mainly specializing in the IT and PC gadgets are making a shift in the production we always see unexpected results.
But I bet this is not the case with the Asus. This company which can be truly and objectively called one of the most outstanding companies in the production of various IT products. This is smoothly proved by the fact that the company received the title of the best informational technology companies for over 5 years.
But where to integrate all of the discoveries made during this all rather fruitful years of strong efforts? I think the mobile production is one of the best solutions. This product has a large demand and especially if taking into account of the fact that some of the leading companies are losing their share in the market due to the fact that they do not satisfy the demand.
Asus is trying to produce the phones based on only one basic principle: to include most of the necessary features on the phones which are based upon the latest innovations in the field. That’s why the Asus phones seem to be so much diverse in their appearance and functions.
Anyways this is good technique to gain more and more customers: each of the customers can find something to satisfy his/her need in both design and the functioning.
It feels like the company is dealing with the problem of market share increase- it’s having minor raises here. This is just a start and hopefully in couple of years the company will be able to surprise us with some outrageous products.
The new gadget from Asus is designed for listening to Internet radio stations. With this player you can quickly customize your favorite radio stations and listen to them anywhere.

The long-awaited ASUS Eee Keyboard opens new secrets. Recently, one of the keyboards appeared in the hands of French researchers from BlogEEE site. They didn’t miss the opportunity to shoot the full video demonstration of the gadget, as well as to disassemble the novelty and study how it has been built.
Disassembling of ASUS Eee Keyboard turned out to be very easy, but it does not mean that in future it will be possible to upgrade the new gadget. If there is left some place for the SSD disk (which suggests several options for the supply), it is impossible to increase the memory. The RAM is directly connected to the motherboard. So 1 GB DDR2 with a frequency of 800MHz, this is all that ASUS Eee Keyboard can offer.
It should be noted that the chips which allow to play HD video with the quality up to 1080p and 8-channel sound, as well as the Wi-Fi module. The battery with a capacity of 1880mAh will allow the gadget to work about an hour and a half.
Asus Company pleased its fans and regular customers with another novelty. Ultrathin notebook Asus Fold / Unfold, was demonstrated to the public at the exhibition CeBIT 2009, and elaborated by a group of designers from Korea, France and Italy.
The main advantage of the new notebook Fold / Unfold is a convenience in handling the keyboard. After opening the keyboard, you’ll see how smoothly it goes back, rises over the case and takes the working position under a small bias. Know-how design of the keyboard allows working with the laptop Fold / Unfold more comfortably and efficiently.
Also, a small slope of the keyboard in relation to the case will allow making more space for better cooling of the notebook and electronic filling.
The price of the ultrathin laptops Fold / Unfold ranges from 1000-1500 dollars.
If you want to obtain the novelty as soon as possible, please be patient. Ultrathin laptop Fold / Unfold will be on the network free sale in the third quarter of 2009.
A lot of interesting news is expected in the next two days. E3 conference dedicated to the computer and video games and everything concerned with it has opened. Particularly, there will be officially presented a new version of the portable game consoles PSP Go. Tomorrow starts the same exhibition Computex, dedicated to electronics and IT. And we already have the first news from there.
During the exhibition was noticed a smartbook ASUS Eee PC prototype, running on Snapdragon-based chipsets with a frequency of 1 GHz and managed by OS Android. But what is most interesting – the system works without a cooler.
Low power, secured by a new chipset Snapdragon, not only helps to extend the work of the gadget, but to abandon the active cooling. This smartbook is able to not only to provide easy surfing on the network, but also play HD video with a resolution of 720p.
Also soon will be released a model with better graphics and chipsets Snapdragon on 1.3 GHz and 1.5 GHz with dual processors. Let’s hope that in the coming days we’ll have more details describing the smartbook.
