Garmin may be famed only for its satnav devices, but this year it’s set to make an assault on the mobile phone market with not one but two communications devices.
First up is the Nuvifone, which was first announced last year but has been off the radar for months. It’s a touchscreen device with few physical buttons and will apparently meld iPhone-style usability with full-on Garmin satnav skills. It was originally due to go on sale towards the end of 2008, but will now launch in the second half of 2009. This could be the holy grail of satnav phones, though, so it could be well worth the wait.
