Asustek is showcasing its new C1000 HSDPA (high-speed downlink packet access) broadband data card and several new handsets, including the P735, P526, M530W, V88i, Z802i and J502, at CeBIT 2007, noted sources at Asustek.
This is Asustek's first-time to showcase its C1000 card. The card supports the PCI Express interface and SMS (short message service) and MMS (multimedia messaging service), according to the sources.
In its 3G lineup, Asustek is showing the P735, V88i and Z802i, while the company is also featuring its P735, P526 and M530W smartphones. The P526 and M530W both support the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 operating system. The Z802i, with a leather case, is targeted at the mid-range and high-end fashion markets, noted the source.
The P735 will be first to launch at the end of March, followed by the V88i in April. The P735 is an upgrade of the P535 with support for WCDMA, but does not support GPS functions, while the V88i, an upgrade of the V80, will support WCDMA and multimedia functions, noted the sources.
