The last we heard from asus about their Android handset was that it would be available in early 2010; according to a recent interview, however, they’re now aiming for before the end of the year. We can only presume that it will be under the nüvifone brand, which recently made its ho-hum debut on AT&T. When I talked to the Garmin-asus back in the Spring, they were sounding pretty confident about Android, so hopefully the new OS will inject some life into their navigation-focused smartphone lineup. Between Motorola, Samsung, HTC, Sony Ericsson, and now Garmin-asus, the Android scene is getting very busy… Despite the competition, I’m curious what they manage to do in the way of GPS-based home screen widgets.
