ASUS, widely recognized as a company at the forefront of innovation, today introduced a myriad of mobile and home computing devices and concepts specifically designed to provide users with a truly seamless computing experience. Products in the spotlight included the recently announced Eee PCTM Seashell Series, as well as several upcoming products, including the Eee Videophone Touch SV1T, and the EeeTop PC ET20/22.

The ‘Seamless Experience' Concept: Communication without Boundaries

The ‘Seamless Experience' concept is the result of the collated feedback, suggestions and recommendations of users around the world submitted via WePC.com, a joint initiative between ASUS and Intel.

The ‘Seamless Experience' concept is a revolutionary, advanced research initiative that leads the way forward in the new digital era. First, it introduces seamless communications between people and devices. For example, notebooks in close proximity could communicate with one another and files such as photographs can be automatically transferred from one notebook to another. Second, it combines information from several points of origin, or even from a piece of paper, and then transforms it into a digital file which can then be shared with friends and family on a large table interface. This provides users with seamless flexibility, in the knowledge that whatever format of data they bring to the table, it can be shared easily and intuitively.

Finally, a seamless data flow allows users to sync their PDAs, mobile phones, PCs and notebooks, so users can work on a file and its edits can then be synchronized throughout all the devices. It is also capable of analyzing data from non-digital formats, such as information scribbled on a piece of paper, and the computer is able to discern its handwriting and store it into the system for future use.

With the ‘Seamless Experience' concept, ASUS is forging a way toward a future of truly effortless intuitive computing, communications and data sharing.

Eee Videophone Touch: Bridging Distances through Voice and Video at a Touch

Eee PC Seashell Series: Timelessly Elegant, Seamlessly Intuitive

The Eee PCTM Seashell Series is a range of beautifully crafted ultra-mobile Internet devices that draw their design cues from the equally beautiful seashell. Like the light sprinkling of fine sand on the exterior of a seashell, the lids are graced with tiny reflective specks which glisten in the light, adding the crowning touches to an already exquisite design.
