Asus is working on a new Windows Mobile 6 device that will have a front mounted keyboard, GPS and 3G, it's called the P530w. This is the first Windows Mobile device from Asus to feature a keyboard.

It's powered by a TI OMAP 850 CPU at 200MHz, which is a bit slow in our experience, at least for a device like this. It should also have 256MB of storage memory and 64MB or RAM.

The display measures 2.4in and has a standard resolution of 320x240. It's unlikely that this will be a touch screen though.

Other features includes 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a microSD card slot, a 2Megapixel camera as well as a front mounted camera for video calls and USB connectivity.

No word on when it will be available or how much it will cost.
