Garmin To Develop Android Phone

Garmin isn’t dull to ignore the coming Android wave, as they revealed that the nuviphone will be but one of many phones the company will release in the future. According to Garmin Asia Pacific marketing director Tony An, a bunch of new handsets from Garmin powered by Google’s Android platform are set to ship sometime in the second half of 2009. Unfortunately for us, details are as scant as hair on Kojak’s head, although we do speculate that you will find GPS navigation being a main feature to complement the integrated presence of Google Maps. The hardware manufacturing process will be contracted out, with no names being mentioned at press time.
