Report: Garmin-Asus partnership to end

Report: Garmin-Asus partnership to end

Garmin-Asus-G60China’s Economic daily is reporting that the Garmin-Asus smartphone partnership will be dissolved come January, at the end of its two-year contract. The translated report is less than clear, but it does state that Asus will continue making smartphones on their own and that Garmin will supply navigation for them.

While the article doesn’t fully address Garmin’s future mobile strategy, it seems to confirm that they are going toexit the smartphone hardware market. I guess we won’t be seeing that Garmin-Asus Windows Phone 7 model after all.
