Engadget’s got the scoop on a fresh leak of a Windows Phone 7 unit with ASUS written all over it. We’re wondering if this device is real or a mere Photoshop job, but you’ll be the judges of that, considering that many phone designers check out our site constantly.
We have to say that the WP7 handset looks legit, although the bottom side underneath the screen is not all that convincing. Wondering what the screen’s diagonal is, too… 4.3 inches maybe? A WP7 ASUS phone… leaked before a Samsung and LG one… not very likely, we think.

We’ve recently come across some pretty interesting
tablet designs, among which there’s the Asus Net Fusion, created by Juan Manuel Bustos. This is a device that combines the features of a laptop with those of a tablet and netbook. Destined to reach the hands of students and graphic design professionals this product gets detailed below (click to enlarge).
The Asus tablet measures 13mm in thickness, it comes with 2 speakers, shortcuts shown on screen and a very interesting and original virtual QWERTY keyboard. There’s also a virtual mouse wheel shown on screen and the specs of the Asus Net Fusion include 2 USB ports, WiFi, LAN, 3G, a webcam and Windows operating system (hopefully Win 7).
The device also seems to support navigational features, as shown in one of the images below. Asus Net Fusion uses a stylus for interaction and drawing, so it’ll probably be loved by design professional. We consider this the perfect alternative to a Wacom tablet. What do you say?

There haven’t been too many concept handsets to gaze at during CES 2010, but one of the impressive devices was the ASUS Waveface Ultra, a bracelet watchphone pictured below. Waveface is in fact a series of concept devices, created by
ASUS and including the Waveface Casa TV, the Waveface Light, a touch tablet and the Waveface Ultra watchphone.
ASUS Waveface Ultra is a wearable cellphone concept that can be worn around the wrist, just like a bracelet. This device is a pretty trendy accessory and it uses a flexible OLED display, being also based on gesture control and touch interface.
There’s also a cloud system supposed to work both with the watchphone and the tablet pictured below, that also features a flexible display. All of these devices, even the Casa TV, are able to access documents and all sorts of content via the platform setup by ASUS. A brilliant idea that we’ll hopefully see turned into reality, soon!

A couple of days ago, the interwebs were filled with an image showing an Eee PC running the famous Google Android OS. Now, it turns out that Asus is not only planning an Android handset for 2009, but also an Eee phone.
Believe it or not, this device will also run Android and this is more than gibberish talk, as Johnny Shih, Asus’ CEO made these announcements.
Keep your eyes peeled for info surfacing during CES 2009, as Asus might have a prototype ready, since they’ve been slowing down on Eee PC launches lately. Can anyone imagine how an Eee Phone would look like? Mail your ideas at concept.phones@gmail.com

Few concept phones have actually reached the stage of being widely known as the handset that’s “almost available”. Everyone’s heard about them, but the real devices are nowhere to be seen. Sadly, this is also the case of Asus Aura, designed by Egy Studio and one of the finest pieces of hardware I’ve ever seen.
The Aura is a slider with a QWERTY keyboard and a 3.9″ touchscreen that would even make the iPhone jealous. There’s also a 2 megapixel camera in there, a microSD memory card slot and the usual GSM/UMTS/HSDPA/Wi-Fi support and Bluetooth connectivity. All of this specs are hidden by a 97 x 49 x 6 (!!) mm body…
Well, what can we say? Asus, please ditch that Eee PC series and start making this beauty! We’ll buy it!

The Asus KarE phone is a conceptual design that explores the future of devices created for “kids and elderly people”. As you see in the images next to the handset created by Markus Wierzoch, it makes a perfect messaging phone and a great console replacement for those who got tired of their Nintendo DS or PSP.
Asus KarE resembles a console more than a normal phone, while the keypad has something “Spider-man-esque” about it, don’t ask me, I’ve just created that word. Its front controls are clearly designed for gaming, while the sliding keypad (or keypads) make it perfect for a nice afternoon of texting with your loved one.
There’s also a camera at the back of this curved device, that looks like something Sega would come up with.
