The newly launched Asus P552w PDA phone features Glide – an innovative touch-responsive user interface that makes navigating and performing tasks on a mobile phone more intuitive and interactive than ever before.

Equipped with a 624MHz processor and a host of market-leading features such as 3.5G HSDPA connectivity, GPS and seamless Google integration, the Asus P552w PDA phone is a perfect fit for the rising tide of young, tech-savvy professionals who appreciate a good-looking mobile companion that packs a wealth of fun features and yet is no slouch when it comes to work.

The Asus P552w also houses applications that enable easy access to web content like RSS newsfeeds, YouTube movies and photos on Flickr, ensuring that users have a full complement of entertainment options to choose from while out of the house or office.

There’s been a lot of random misinformation about the iPhone 3G floating around out there, like David Pogue’s baffling comment that the device’s GPS antenna is “too small” to support turn-by-turn directions, and Apple’s iPod and iPhone marketing head Greg Joswiak recently sat down with AppScout to clear up some of the confusion.

Greg says that Apple has an internal priority list of features for the iPhone, and that the company went as far down the list with the 3G as it could — and that copy / paste support simply didn’t make the cut. Similarly, there are no technical issues preventing turn-by-turn directions, just other “complicated issues” (read: legal agreements) that need to be sorted out, and Josiwak expects developers to “amaze us.” as things “evolve.” Hopefully that means that nav app TomTom’s got in the labs will evolve its way into the wild sometime soon. Finally, Joswiak said that he’s not aware of any technical reasons an office suite isn’t already in the App Store, but that the lack of a cross-application file structure could impede development. Yeah, and maybe the lack of copy / paste, you think?
