The A626 is a stylish new PDA unveiled by Asus on Friday. The small device is just 1.57 cm (approx. 0.6″) thick and it weights less than 158g (less than 6 oz.) so you might think it doesn’t pack a lot of features. On the contrary, inside the 11.7 x 7.08 x 1.57cm stainless steel packaging Asus included an Intel XScale processor clocked at 312Mhz, 128MB Flash ROM, 64MB SDRAM and a 3.5″ anti-glare touch screen.

Based on these hardware specifications the A626 PDA includes applications for both multimedia and office. Together with the Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, A626 includes a WiFi 802.11 b/g built-in adapter that makes work with internet extremely easy as customers will have access to email, browsing and many more functions. The operating system of choice for this PDA was Windows Mobile v5.0 and this enables audio and video playback (MP3, WMA, WMV, etc.).

Asus is reporting that the A626 PDA is only available in China, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and that Thailand and USA will soon have it too. However we yet know nothing of plans for launching this device on other markets.
