Keeping it ‘Live’

One key feature of the ASUS P526 is how it can allow users to use Windows Live to integrate contacts so that users can see who is (and who isn’t) online at any given time. Users can then share and update their lives via photos, instant messaging or e-mails.

The P526 also offers a convenient feature with the integrated Windows Mobile 6 Professional Smart Dial feature. Users can automatically pull up contacts when they start typing a first or last name with the keypad. Using the search bar located just beneath the current time launches web searches without having to open the browser – making web searches that much more user-friendly.

The GPS function of the ASUS P526 is able to plot a route to direct users to the right destination. With a user-friendly interface, users can easily program in the destination and then view directions, the distance traveled, street addresses, and the time and distance left for the journey.

Planning an international teleconference meeting across three different time zones is made easy with ASUS’s innovative Meeting Planner. This feature helps to eliminate the hassle of time converting and makes meeting scheduling easier and more efficient than ever before.
