Garmin ASUS tieup promises interesting products starting with the Nuvifone G60

Garmin and ASUS has announced a merger that will have them build, design and release co-branded mobile products. Their first product will be the rebranded Nuvifone and will be known as the Garmin-ASUS Nuvifone G60. There are reports that many units are already in the production stage and there will be atleast one new model which will be displayed in the upcoming Mobile World Congress.

The new Garmin-ASUS Nuvifone G60 will come out in the market in the first half of 2009 and is supposedly to go head to head to the iPhone. The details of the handset will also be released then. The interesting part about the phone is definitely the merger between the two companies. Both are well established in their own ways and they will definitely come up with something new. Too early to say anything now but the phone should definitely create some ripples in the market. Wait and watch is what we are doing right now.
