I would have assume it was getting a deal with local carriers that would be the biggest hurdle it would have. This makes me wonder about those who push Linux as the perfect operating system for everything. Maybe it wasn't Linux that was the problem and just the fact of building a complete platform for the phone. With Android and Windows Mobile, the foundation is already there for them to build on. If anything, this could just be a time-saving measure for feature Garmin phones. It’s interesting to hear that Linux is the cause of the Garmin-ASUS G60 delays.
