Garmin-Asus-A10, both GPS and smartphone
The war on android based smartphone unavoidable among the major brand like motorola (with droid), htc (with their htc desire, wildfire and hero) and Samsung (with galaxy series).
Asus- Taiwan based company) which is known for the brand for motherboard, vga card, etc seems to challenge themselves on those competitive market by collaborating with Garmin – pioneer for GPS devices- to fill the niche market of android based smartphone, which is targeted for the adventurer..
New smartphone Garmin Asus A 10 Garmin – recently launched, is arguably a smartphone for the adventurers. Navigation Featuring a highly reliable, as we can get from the product – Garmin products, A 10 is intended specifically for those who like to explore and need a reliable GPS navigation assistance.
In addition, with buried the robot (Android OS) in this smart phone, the more aroused attraction of this smartphone, because as we all know, the end – the end of this Android is being increasingly loved by lovers of gadgets.
Sure, with android mobile phone anywhere, we’ve provided the GPS navigation feature, be it through applications – applications that can be downloaded or use google maps service. But when it tried to use artificial Garmin GPS navigation applications, all would agree, Application of artificial Garmin Navigation is still more superior. Mostly because the map and navigation data from the applications already built in, so no data connection is required (offline even can). This would be an advantage in itself, especially in parts of Indonesia, where the quality of the data connection is still uneven.
For business spec hardware, A 10 is a little bear. That said, for the class of Android phones, actually installed spec can be categorized at entry level. Display 3.2 “it is already capacitive and multitouch support, but unfortunately could only display 65 thousand colors, is still one level below the samsung Galaxy Spica is already 256 thousand colors.
Processors that are used are also very bear, speed is only 600 mhz, though for ROM and RAM is pretty big in number 512. But the thing to note is that the engineers A 10 is smart, dedicated ROM with a capacity of 512 is for processing and storage of various Android Application. This of course will be quite influential in performance when using various applications. And from some reviews that I read, A 10 is pretty good at running the application, even in a multitasking too (have several applications open at once), its performance is still very good.
Feature
A modern smartphone features 10 also has a fairly complete and performing well. The camera is, there is wi fi, bluetooth is also there, and also features – other standard features. The design also A 10 can be said to have been made with very good and memorable elegance. The quality of the material is not cheap, the screen was already coated with a layer of softlayer that can protect it from scratch or light dirt (fingerprints), this would also be one of value added for a touch screen smartphone.
With prices still below $500 (new), you could say only natural when A 10 is not equipped with a hi spec hardware. However, the value offered, you could say A 10 is very worth it, because as a whole was able to fulfill its function very well. Of course, Garmin mempush Asus should still be more in terms of hardware, thus further enhance the attractiveness of the product – A 10 products like this in the future.
