Asus P320, one of the tiniest Pocket PCs to run on Windows Mobile, was recently approved by the FCC and could soon be officially available in the US, to the joy of all users who (might) want to own this pretty little handset.

The P320 was first unveiled by Asus during CeBIT 2008,

at the beginning of March, when we had the chance to see it live in both of its versions: the black and the pink one.

Also known as Asus Galaxy Mini, P320 is part of a new series of devices created by the Taiwanese producer, along with Asus P560, Asus M536 and the unique Asus Lamborghini ZX1. Measuring only 99 x 55 x 13.35 millimeters (3.89 x 2.16 x 0.52 inches) and weighing 105 grams (3.70 ounces), the P320 is obviously the smallest handset from the new Asus line-up.

The tiny Pocket PC packs several nice features, including Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, email and Web capabilities, a 2.0 Megapixel camera with auto focus and video recording, USB and microSD card support. Running on the latest Windows Mobile version (6.1 Professional), P320 also comes with Windows Media Player, file manager and organizer. Unfortunately, the handset is not a 3G one, only offering quad-band GSM connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with GPRS and EDGE.

Asus P320 doesn't have a hardware keypad, hence most of the data input is made through its 2.6 inch TFT touchscreen that has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Although this display only supports 65K colors, it offers a very good image quality - we know it from CeBIT.

We don't have any details about a US release date of Asus P320, and we don't even know if it's actually going to be launched there. Anyway, in case it will, the small Pocket PC should have a retail price of about 500 - 600 USD.
