Keeping it ´Live´
One key feature of the ASUS P526 is how it can allow users to use Windows Live to integrate contacts so that users can see who is (and who isn´t) online at any given time. Users can then share and update their lives via photos, instant messenging or e-mails.

The P526 also offers a convenient feature with the integrated Windows Live Smart Dial feature. Users can automatically pull up contacts when they start typing a first or last name with the keypad. Using the search bar located just beneath the current time launches web searches without having to open the browser – making web searches that much more user-friendly.
