Android Handset from ASUS, Next Year
Posted October 29th, 2008 by Alex Ion
The success of the T-Mobile G1 is why new cellphone makers decided to release new Android handset. That’s the case with ASUS, who’s been invited by Google to join the Open Handset Alliance, and in return they’re going to come up with an Android mobile phone by the first half of 2009 (more like summer).
ASUS is also expected to ditch the Ericsson Mobile Platform (or EMP) in its phones and go for the Qualcomm and Marvell platform. Wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that Ericsson is not yet a member in OHA while the other two, are!
Good game Google, on making the cell phone market even more crowded that before and on making people play by your rules. – via DigiTimes
