    Just noticed this press release over at ASUS.
    http://www.asus.com.tw/news_show.aspx?id=2118

    At this stage the only models that will get dual core cpus will be the W2J, A7J, W5F, A6J and V6J. My guess is that this will expand across other models such as the W3 when there is a greater supply of cpus.

    Just so you know....... that "line up" is mainly just what's in store for Q1....

    As far as the phones are concerned.... I have a couple of Asus' mobiles and although they are awesome and there is one I like better than my Razr...... bringing them to the US has proven a pain in the rear.... mainly for Asus...... If they do this whole Lambo phone thing, maybe Cingular will pick them up....

    When I was in Italy, it was the start of a lot of this ferrari logo stuff....... Basically it started as a promo... All of the companies who sponsor Michael Schumacher's F1 car put out "limited edition" products....

    .. That includes Acer, Puma, Olympus, Vodafone, etc... they all made their funky little promo products.... but basically Acer is the only one who brought any of those here..... It's cool to have a limited edition thing like that....... but long term it just gets old.

    ... and those sneakers are HOT upclose... lol.... puma has a pair of low cut driving sneaks all red and white.... but I wouldn't be caught dead in them, even if I were on the track.

    They have regular cells that are all about mp3's and stuff... really nice....... they have one ppc phone which I thought was amazing - but right now a year after I got mine, I'm still the only one in this hemisphere with one.......

    The next generation of ppc phone is more likely to come over to join the pocket pc lineup than their regular cells making it over here...
