Garmin-Asus Nuvifone A50

The original Garmin-Asus Nuvifone from 2009 wasn't a huge hit, but the brand is back with two new devices that look much more promising.



The Nuvifone A50 is an Android-based device with a custom touch UI. the A50 comes with a 3.5-inch touchscreen display, an accelerometer, and 4 GB of internal storage with a microSD slot for expansion. Fro navigation, the A50 uses a suite of location techniques to keep track of where you're going, including GPS and mobile network location tech, and the device comes pre-loaded with all the maps you would find on a standalone GPS. The A50 also comes "car-ready" with a windshield mount and car power adapter in the box. No word on carriers and availability quite yet
