Garmin is known to be a GPS manufacturer (one of the leaders in it’s industry we might add), ASUS is known for manufacturing netbooks and more powerful notebook systems. However, both companies have decided to venture into the mobile phone devision with the nuvifone M10.
This device is Window’s Phone 6.5.3 powered and carries a 600MHz Qualcomm MSM 7227 CPU. Other features include 512MB of RAMand ROM as well as 4GB of internal storage as well as a 3.5-inch WVGA screen. A you can imagine, with Garmin being a GPS manufacturer, location-based information is integrated and the company boasts that this feature is included in everything the device does.
Launch is scheduled for the first half of 2010, and as usual, more details will pour out of MWC next week, so stay tuned.

It is clear that Microsoft is working behind the scenes to bring Windows Mobile 7 up to speed with the competition (Android, webOS and iPhone). That has sparked a lot of rumors as to what will actually happen in the 7th installment of the OS. However, today we got the biggest set of rumors yet. Here they are.
First of all we’re hearing that Microsoft will be going two different routes with Windows Mobile 7. There will be Windows Mobile 7 Business Edition and Windows Mobile 7 Media Edition which will be a version the company will pitch to devs and OEM’s as the skinable version.
