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 only now that we’re getting an approximate release date for their GPS-enabled mobile phone. June is when it is expected to be released, and barring anymore delays, I’d say it’s high time this baby is made available. However, one small caveat possibly standing in its way to success is its Linux Mobile OS. With Mac OS X Mobile and Android making great strides in the mobile scene, does LinMo have what it takes to lure consumers to their side? That’s what we’ll have to wait and see.
