wVoIP via Bluetooth with ASUS phone
Unless you’re a pretty hardcore computer hobbyist, you’ve probably never heard of ASUS, a Taiwanese company best known for high-performance motherboards and similar OEM equipment. We’ve heard, however, that ASUS has a tri-band mobile phone–a slide phone model–that can make Skype calls by using its Bluetooth radio to connect through a networked computer. Slick. The J501 also has a 2MP camera, 5MB of memory (plus a card slot), and the ability to play AAC, MP3 and MP4 files, and can tape music off its FM radio. In other words, the thing is a pocket-sized media disruption machine. It costs $300, and is currently available only in Taiwan, where every media company in the world will try to keep it bottled up.
