MWC sees Garmin-Asustek phone release

on 01/21/2010, filed in Home > CellPhones

The upcoming Mobile World Congress (MWC) will be the platform where Garmin-Asustek’s Android-powered collaboration take the centerstage, and it won’t be the last one for 2010 either as there will be another four to five new new Windows Mobile or Android phones targeted to roll out this year. Rumor has it that this Garmin-Asustek partnership will feature a 600MHz Qualcomm processor, a 3.5″ resistive touchscreen display at 800 x 480 resolution, a 5-megapixel camera and GPS support with a February launch date in mind for the price of $435 thereabouts. If you’re going to be in Europe next month, why not check to see if your calendar can accommodate a visit to MWC to check out the latest in mobile communications?

Garmin: Garmin Ltd. was incorporated in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. It was founded by Gary Burrell and Min Kao in 1989, hence the company name Garmin. Garmin specializes in developing consumer, aviation, and marine technologies that rely on Global Positioning System or GPS for navigational assistance. Burrell and Kao, both electrical engineers, first named the company ProNav, but opted to change it to Garmin in 1991 when another competitor, who had a product called NavPro, sued the company for trademark infringement. Today, Garmin has more than 9,200 associates in 35 offices worldwide.
