Reuters is reporting that the GPS smartphone announced by Garmin early last year will be delayed again. If you remember Garmin has partnered with Asus for the launching of the freshly dubbed Nuviphone G60. A June release was estimated and it appears that the estimate overestimated Garmin and Asustek’s capability. Probable details about the Nuviphone G60: [...]

The Garmin-Asus alliance caught some of us off-guard, but if a merger is what’s needed to get a quality product out in the market then we’re certainly not against it. That seems to be the case with the Nuviphone. Now known as the nuvifone G60, it was first announced in early 2008, but it is [...]
