The Exeda from Compulab may not be the prettiest device you would come across, but it is very flexible both in terms of hardware as-well-as software. It has U-boot bootloader, which gives the user the choice to boot between either in Google Android or Windows Mobile. Connectivity-wise, it has 2 USB ports; a Quad-band GSM radio(or CDMA radio), WiFi b/g and BT 2.0. It also has a 3.5-inch VGA display (640 x 480), which would make web-browsing acceptable on a mobile device.

Here are it’s other features:

• Marvell PXA270 520MHz CPU
• 128MB RAM
• 2 banks of internal FLASH, 512MB each
• 2MP camera with flash
• GPS with built-in and external antennas
• MicroSD socket with SDHC support
• Built-in microphone and speaker + 3.5mm stereo jack
• High capacity 3000mAh battery

Exeda also supports Windows CE 6 and Angstrom Linux. Although these are not on the board, but it is nice to know that the hardware supports CE 6 and Linux (mobile) variant.

With the release of Resco Explorer v7, the Resco Explorer gained the capability to skin itself. Sadly, no one ever came forward to skin the Resco Explorer. Although, numerous skins were introduced for it’s Today Plugin, but no skin was ever released for the Resco Explorer. Not anymore now.

How to install the skin:

• Get the skin from this post
• Put both of the skn files under program filesresco explorerskins

If Benchmarks say a thousand words, video would then say (at least) a million words. Right? Here is a quick video, where I’ve tested the browsing speeds of both the devices. Both are running the Opera Mobile 9.5. ASUS P565 really shows it’s power when it comes to processor intensive task like web browsing. The Opera Mobile 9.5 truely shines on the ASUS P565, where it not only loads faster on the P565, but the web browsing too is noticeably faster on it as compared to HTC DIAMOND.

I also did some basic tests like making a new MS Word file, opening Excel and Powerpoint Mobile. The speed of both devices were similar with P565 being slightly faster in those tests. Of course, the speed won’t be that noticeable in such tasks as they don’t take the CPU to it’s limits. But, the ASUS P565 impresses us, where it should: in the processor intensive tasks like web browsing.
