SMART launches SMART Bro-powered netbooks

SMART, through its wholly-owned subsidiary SMART Broadband, recently launched the country’s first netbook, the Asus Eee PC™ 904 GO, with built-in high-speed broadband connectivity powered by SMART Bro.

The built-in SMART Bro modem and the SMART Bro data SIM that comes with the bundle allow the netbook to connect wirelessly to SMART’s nationwide HSPA network, offering fans of mobile broadband a complete, ready-to-run internet experience in an all-in-one device, right out of the box. HSPA is the latest evolution of the GSM technology, and is likened to having the high-speed, cable broadband experience delivered right to a mobile device.

The SMART Bro-powered Asus Eee PC™ 904 GO is available via the Plan 799 monthly subscription, which comes with up to 60 hours of Internet access, at speeds of up to 2 mbps in key cities in the Philippines.

Initial cash-out for the 24-month subscription is P1,000 for the laptop plus P799 for the first monthly service fee, for a total of P1,799. The same amount goes for the monthly fee for the package.
