Also, as the report said, they're out of Taiwan, and a lot of factories are spewing forth all kinds of interesting electronics gear out of Taiwan, these days. I also disagree with the belief that fostering new relationships with ODM's in certain, perceived time frames doesn't make sense. Business is business, and if a company is able-bodied enough to bring something out quickly and at competitive pricing for manufacture, and can get it to market fast enough, then why not 'at the last minute' or even 'at the last second?' Things don't take as much time to design these days, and phones are no exception. The technology has matured, boards are getting smaller, and Asus--from my own experience with their laptops--doesn't just slap things together. Most of their competitive 15-inch gaming laptops have room for two hard drives, and PCIe dedicated (discrete) video cards. Combine this type of forward thinking toward a phone platform, and I would think that Asus could be an up-and-coming manufacturer in the cell phone arena. I'm looking forward to seeing if they'll make it and shake it!

I also disagree with the belief that fostering new relationships with ODM’s in certain, perceived time frames doesn’t make sense. Business is business, and if a company is able-bodied enough to bring something out quickly and at competitive pricing for manufacture, and can get it to market fast enough, then why not ‘at the last minute’ or even ‘at the last second?’

I’m looking forward to seeing if they’ll make it and shake it!
