Taiwanese vendors team up to make a location-centric handset.
Garmin and ASUS will formerly unveil the Garmin-Asus nüvifone G60 at Mobile World Congress later this month, and expect to bring more models to market in 2009.All of them will continue the vision of LBS-centric devices that 'seamlessly connect, communicate and navigate'.
The series will offer turn-by-turn, voice-prompted navigation features typical of SatNav, with preloaded maps and millions of points of interest.
The nüvifone also features Ciao!, a social networking application that bridges the gap between location-based social networks and integrates them into one device.
The G60 is expected to be delivered in the first half of 2009.
