Asustek launches ahead of iPhone

By

Taiwanese electronics maker Asustek Computer launched a Windows Mobile 6 smartphone with a touch-sensitive screen on Wednesday, just days ahead of the launch of Apple’s iPhone.

Asustek’s new handset, the ASUS P526, wasn’t meant to be an iPhone rival, nor is the timing auspicious, being so close to the launch of the iPhone, the year’s hottest product. Development on the device started a year ago, and Asustek has simply followed its own timeline, according to Sannie Lee, a spokesperson at Asustek, talking to the press on the sidelines of Asustek’s news conference in Taipei.
