Hardware maker Asus and navigation system manufacturer Garmin announced a “strategic alliance” Wednesday that will result in a line of cobranded mobile phones. Each company will bring their specialty — mobile telephony and navigation, respectively — to the table for the line of location-centric Garmin-Asus Nuvifone models, several of which are expected to hit store shelves in 2009. Garmin originally announced plans for its so-called Nuvifone in 2008. That device will be renamed the “G60” and will be available in the first half of 2009.
