Ok, so Asus has decided to update their 3G-less Asus P526 with, wait for it…no 3G! Apparently, the Asus P527 gets updated with WiFi. So it’s not too much of a disappointment, but we think Asus should have included some 3G – they went through all the trouble of releasing an update afterall. Other than the added WLAN integration, the Asus P527 will get the same SiRFStar III GPS receiver that took the spotlight on the predecessor. A quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) radio, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, microSD card slot, and FM radio – powered by Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional – round out the feature-set.
Word on the street (read: speculation) has the Asus P527 coming to France by year’s end – at a €500 (just north of $700) price point. We’re not sure if the addition of WiFi is going to justify the added expense of the Asus P527, but to each his own.
