04.02.2009 - Garmin e ASUS si alleano per battere l'iPhone di Apple

Con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, Garmin e ASUS hanno annunciato una strategica alleanza che porterà alla produzione di soluzioni hardware frutto del know-how delle due aziende, commercializzate con un brand legato a entrambe, ovvero Garmin-Asus. La collaborazione darà origine essenzialmente a nuovi telefoni cellulari appartenenti alla linea dei nüvifone: i primi modelli marcati Garmin-Asus saranno mostrati al prossimo trade show "Mobile World Congress" che si terrà a Barcellona dal 16 al 19 Febbraio.

Il primo fra tutti sarà il nüvifone G60, già annunciato nel 2008, che sarà rinominato all'uopo per aderire alla nuova "brandizzazione" mentre il suo arrivo sul mercato è fissato per la prima metà del 2009. L'obiettivo, nemmeno tanto segreto, di entrambe è quello di contrapporre lo G60 all'iPhone e di utilizzare, oltre al pieno supporto delle Google Apps, la tecnologia GPS, da sempre cavallo di battaglia di Garmin, come il valore aggiunto per fronteggiare e contrastare il successo della ben nota device di Apple.

The Garmin-Asus alliance allows the two companies to combine their complementary resources. This collaboration has helped us to develop a diverse line of easy-to-use, location-centric handset devices that offer the highest degree of quality, reliability, innovation and performance.

In addition to the complementary nature of their mobile phone resources, Garmin and Asus's corporate philosophy and vision for the future closely align. Both companies are technology-oriented companies that heavily invest in R&D to develop high quality, leading-edge products that enrich the lives of people who use our devices. The nüvifone line will achieve this goal by offering all-in-one converged devices to mobile users around the globe.

Garmin-Asus products will be identified by a new contemporary logo that builds on the rich brand awareness of both companies. The most noticeable element of the logo is a circular design, which is a multi-meaning art mark that has various interpretations including, but not limited to, a road, a sunrise or sunset, a person dancing and a variation of the yin and yang symbol.
