It seems there could be a new "race" heating up in the mobile phone industry, and that being of processors. Of course, processors with high clock speeds are nothing new, especially at the Windows Mobile end. Even still, 800 MHz of processing power in a mobile phone is certainly a feat, and if this catches on with other manufacturers, then there culd be a similar outcome to that of squeezing a big number of megapixels into a handset.

ASUS's latest smartphone, running on Windows Mobile 6.1, is the first mobile phone to sport an 800 MHz processor. Of course, the P565 isn't just a one-trick pony, as it has a good featre set to bot. Oddly, no official word on pricing, or availability are known as of yet. Technical specifications are as follows:

• Connectivity: Tri-band GSM, Single-band HSDPA
• OS: Windows Mobile 6.1, with Glide UI
• Display: WideVGA resolution, 2.8" touchscreen, shows u to 65 thousand colours
• Camera: 3 MP, with autofocus
• Memory: 128 MB RAM, 256 MB ROM, MicroSD expansion slot
• Extras: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Anytime launcher, Document viewer
• Dimensions: 102 mm x 60.5 mm x 16 mm
• Weight: 120 grams

Motorola have announed their second 5 MP cameraphone - the V66 slider handset, sharing a very similar feature-set with the company's ZN5 candybar handset. However, unlike the ZN5, with the V66, there is no Kodak branding to be had. Two advantages the VE66 has over the ZN5, are 3G connectivity, as well as QVGA video recording (against the ZN5's QCIF resolution).

Back to the camera side of things, an LED flash is present, as opposed to the ZN5's powerful xenon flash. Also, the 3.5 mm jack seens in the ZN5 looks to be absent. TheVE6 will start shipping sometime before year's end. Technical specifications are as follows:

• Connectivity: Quad-band GSM, EDGE, 3G
• OS: Linux Montavista v2.6.10
• Display: 2.2", showing up to 262 thousand colours
• Camera: 5 MP, LED flash, autofocus, QVGA video recording, 30 FPS
• Memory: 110 MB internal, MicroSDHC expansion slot
• Extras: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB 2.0 connectivity, FM Radio, with RDS, A-GPS
• Dimensions: 103 x 49.5 x 15.2 mm
• Weight: 121 grams
