Hardware, system, software
The device runs Windows Mobile 6 Professional, which uses a 520 MHz Intel XScale PXA270 CPU. The size of the ROM is 256 MB, while RAM is only 64 MB large; we have 130 MB for storing data and 26 MB for running programs. There are no problems with speed, after running Pocket PC Mark, I had to wake myself up from the shock, so have a look:
Pocket PC Mark v1.03 | ||
Dhrystone Benchmark (CPU) | 215.87 MIPS | |
Whetstone Benchmark (CPU) | 7 MWIPS | |
Memory Benchmark | 856.35 points | |
File system Benchmark | 121.77 points | |
Graphics Benchmark | 280 points |
We have never ever met such high results at any device, so congratulations. We have to add, that the CPU had to be set manually to Turbo mode, as the autoconfig algorithm thought that for such an easy test it’s enough to keep the chip running with a low multiplier. This of course resulted in weak results.
There is a great deal of extra software. One of the most welcome is that there is a task manager that can configure the X button, so that automatically closes programs – it’s interesting that we can create a list of exceptions to which we might add the media player for example, so that will only be minimized with X, not closed. Another nice feature is the row of icons on the “taskbar”: pushing the red A, the CPU/USB settings pop up, and we can also see the amount of free memory and battery charge. It’s nothing new, but still useful, that P750 can function as a card reader (USB Mass Storage device), which eases the copy of large files.
We can find a few delicacies in the menu too. Asus Launcher is a cool looking quick launch menu, which contains the shortcuts of all programs by default, but we can add our own apps later, without any hesitation. I think there’s no need to discuss the functions of Backup in detail, but GPS Catcher is worth mentioning, as this can speed up positioning with the help of data downloaded from the internet. Location Courier sends our current position in a message to someone, while Meeting Time Planner is a calendar add-on, that eases the entry of meetings that take place in a city from a different time zone.
We are not even close to the end of the list. Newstation is an RSS reader, Remote Desktop Mobile and Remote Presenter are again apps that need no presentation. There is a Streaming Player, a clock software called Ur Time which has alarm clock and world clock too (we can add times of different cities to the Today screen), Voice Commander, the calling card digitizer called WorldCard Mobile, which is featured on Asus PDAs since a long time ago, My Secrets is a file encrypter and there is a travel software under the name Travelog - I didn’t really examine this very much, it’s some kind of route planner.
