Android and WinMo Garmin-Asus Nuvifones surface
February 11th, 2010
Garmin-Asus have announced not one but two new smartphones – the Garmin-Asus Nuvifone A50 and Nuvifone M10 – both of which should be on display at MWC 2010 next week.
The Nuvifone A50 runs on Android while the Nuvifone M10 is a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 phone. Both are touchscreen smartphones, and, as you’d expect from Garmin, they both focus primarily on navigation.
That said, virtually all smartphones comewith GPS and some form of mapping software these days. So what do the Garmin-Asus Nuvifones offer that you can’t get with, say, any other Android smartphone, and why has Garmin gone to all the trouble of building its own phone?…

Garmin working on Android phone
November 8th, 2009
Garmin have announced that they’re working on an Android-based GPS smartphone for 2010.
Garmin entered the mobile phone market a while back with its much-delayed Nuvifone. Unfortunately, the delay meant that Garmin missed the boat somewhat with GPS phones, with first Nokia and then Google stealing a march on the company with a plethora of GPS-based phones that all worked rather well.
More details after the jump.
