Man.. I don't think they thought about that name clearly enough though.... shouldn't they do something like a word connotation check before releasing products?
Sounds like... "A$$ - mobile" to me :)

I was reading a magazine and saw an ASUS ad for the W5f, W3j and W2v, and I said 'cool'. The next page was for the Z35f, Z62j, Z96j and it stated ASMobile, which made me giggle a bit :p

Seriously.. what's wrong with these large corporation not making sure there aren't weird "hidden" meanings/connotations behind their slogans or logos... I don't think it's acceptable at all... especially large global corporations like ASUS..
I do freelance translating/interpreting, and lots of times when major corporations want to release something, they make sure the words are carefully checked in multiple languages before anything.... I think that's the smart thing to do instead of something like ASmobile happening...
