Garmin-ASUS nuvifone G60 to ship next week


Garmin-ASUS announced that its long-delayed nuvifone G60, a Linux-based smartphone with a focus on navigation tasks, will finally start shipping later this month in Taiwan on July 27, to be followed by Singapore and Malaysia by the end of August. The company has said that the nuvifone G60 is on track for a release in the United States and Europe during the second half of 2009. Garmin-ASUS also announced that its Windows Mobile powered nuvifone G20 will start shipping in some Asian markets in August.

The Garmin-ASUS nuvifone G60 was originally announced just before Mobile World Congress in 2008 as the Garmin nuvifone. Garmin and ASUS joined forces in the smartphone business in February of this year, which resulted in the device being renamed.
