Today screen, software
After the first power-on we have to wait until the Asus software gets installed on the handset. Fortunately there is quite a lot of extra stuff, even the Today screen has been changed. We could have seen the same one on Asus Lamborghini too; TouchFLO is still much, much better, but it’s better than nothing. The plug-in has six tabs, the first is for time and date, the second for missed events, the third displays upcoming calendar entries, the fourth has weather forecast, the fifth displays RSS feeds we set up, while the sixth has the currently played music track. There a couple of pre-installed themes, I didn’t like any of them too much, but the wallpaper can even change automatically sometimes, that’s great.
There is nothing special amongst the programs. There is an RSS-reader, a Remote Calendar (for Google Calendar), Streaming Player, Task manager and Voice Commander. That’s it. No calendar for “those days”, no cloth size converter, although one would expect such stuff of a women’s PDA.
There is a bit more interesting stuff at the settings. The first thing is the icon labeled Asus Today; this is where we can set up the weather forecast plugin. We also have a Profile Manager, which is quite self-explanatory, just like Ring Tones, where we can set any kind of MP3 file as a ringtone. Probably many of you are familiar with Asus Status, the small thing that gets set up in the lower left corner of the Today screen is a great system monitor software that displays free memory and battery level too. Auto Cleaner sets up the X button so that really closes applications, not just minimizes them. The last is USB Setting, where we can choose between ActiveSync and USB Mass Storage modes.
