File this under “rumors” as haven’t heard anything official from Asus, but apparently the Taiwan-based computer maker is planning to release an Eee-branded mobile phone in March of this year.
According to the Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN), the launch of the low-cost Eee phone will be part of the company’s revised strategy to focus on the development of “affordable quality products” in the times of the global economic crisis. The source added that Asus planned to unveil such a phone during 2008, but has rescheduled its plans for some reason.
We’ll certainly be watching any news coming from Asus and as soon as we hear something about the specs — like which OS it will use — we’ll let you know. Stay tuned in the meantime…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
