Asus Aura N48 Communicator - The First Look

Text Link Ads

Well, it seems the introduction of the Apple iPhone has given a serious shocker throughout the cellphone industry and we've been seeing other major companies try to compete since then.

From the latest releases only LG seems to have had something that could at least be a little bit similar to the iPhone with their LG Prada KE850 phone.
Well, it seems we're here to see another concept phone, the Asus Aura N48 Communicator, produced by the Hungarian design company, Egy Studio. Looking at it can tell you that it was clearly inspired by the iPhone, although the Asus Aura has some interesting innovations that address some of the shortcomings that the iPhone seems to have.

One of the unique features of the Asus Aura is a movable navigation module with navigation buttons. Also, a sliding QWERTY keyboard should make text entry much easier.

Other features of the Asus Aura include - a 3.9 inch touchscreen covering the whole surface of the phone, a 2 mega pixel camera, microSD memory card slot, GSM, UMTS, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity. All of this in a 6mm thick package.

Unfortunately Asus Aura is just a concept so far, so it might not see the light of day as soon as we think. Also being a concept, no word on its price or availability.

It looks like Asus has a new PDA phone in the works. At least that’s what the iF Design Awards product gallery is telling us.

Named Pegasus this super slim (15.4 mm) Windows Mobile gadget combines phone, PDA and GPS navigation system into one sleek package. It has a numeric keypad, jog dial and allows for simple one handed control. The camera body is finished with brushed aluminum and diamond-cut edges to accentuate superior taste and a feeling of luxury.

No further details are available at this time, but the name of this PDA phone (Pegasus was the original name of Asustek. They dropped first 3 letters for higher directory listings), makes us wonder just what plans Asus has for Pegasus future
