Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 launches in Taiwan, Windows Mobile and all

Following last month’s launch of the proprietary OS’d G60, Taiwan’s now playing host to the Windows Mobile-based M20 from Garmin-Asus, the joint venture’s second model. Local carrier Chunghwa will be carrying the phone, which features HSDPA, a VGA display, 3 megapixel cam, and comprehensive navigation capabilities that earn it the Garmin name — but it turns out they’ll also be launching the iPhone 3GS and Hero in the next few days, a situation that effectively defines the phrase “hostile competitive landscape.” Best of luck, Garmin-Asus — given the Duke Nukem-esque delays you’ve encountered in your bumpy road to retail, you need all the luck you can get if you want to turn a profit any time soon.
