Hi-Res Pics Of The Asus A730 And P505
PPCT member ultraman posted a link on our earlier Asus phone thread that has a collection of amazing, high-quality pictures of the upcoming A730 VGA device and the compact P505 Pocket PC phone. Take a look at the size comparison between the A730 and an iPAQ 4150, for example:
The A730 is slated to ship with dual slots, Bluetooth, and a VGA screen. :drool: It appears that the first version won't have built-in WiFi -- apparently, a later version will be coming out with both WiFi and BT.

Want one NOW. Want one BAD.
Hey Jason, did you notice the two photos that show the upper-left-hand Windows logo? Everything you've been saying about how much clearer icons and text of the same size will look after a 400% resolution increase has been totaly validated.
The icon is exactly the same real-world width and height on both units, but the sharpness of the VGA 730A makes the QVGA iPaq 4155 look like a preschooler's crayon doodle held up next to a Renoir.

Now that HP has decided to kill off "sleeves", I think that this is going to be my next PPC. I didn't realize that the 730 was going to be USB host capable as well; and is it just me, or does the charge/sync port look exactly like an iPAQ's.
I would like a 4700, but asus seems to have a pretty good rep, and since most of my accessories will be useless with the 4700, and the 4700 doesn't have a 1.3MP camera, now would be a good time to switch.

VGA in a similar form factor as the h4100 series. Now that is exactly what I want. Am I the only person though who wishes it didn't have a CF slot and had Wifi built in instead? After using the h1900 and h4100 series I don't miss the CF slot and that space could be put to better use i.e. smaller size or a larger battery.

Although I understand your wants/needs, I want the CF slot. It already has WiFi built in, but I still want CF. More slots may mean more size, but it also means more expandability
edit: OOPS, I too thought that it had WiFi built in.
