The new Garmin-Asus A10 is a humble 3.2" HVGA communicator powered by Android OS. It comes with a 1,500mAh battery, a multitouch-friendly WebKit browser, and a 5Mpix AF camera with automatic geotagging. The preloaded Garmin Navigation maps and software provide location info and turn-by-turn voice instructions while the handset is in offline mode. In-car navigation is also obviously fully supported and encouraged. We also know pedestrian-optimizations are included, such as the public transport-aware cityXplorer maps.
You can expect the A10 to hit the European and Asia-Pacific markets in mid-2010.
You ain't nobody if you don't have an Android handset (or two) these days, and Garmin-Asus has just added the A10 to its own stable of devices. It's a pretty humble 3.2-inch H VGA communicator, but it has a healthy 1,500mAh battery, a multi touch-friendly Web Kit browser, and an auto focusing 5 megapixel camera with automatic geotagging. Coming with preloaded Garmin Navigation maps and software, the A10 eliminates the need for a web connection when looking up your local topography, and similarly retains turn-by-turn voice instructions while used offline. It's not altogether clear what the pedestrian optimizations are, aside from the public transport-aware city Xplorer maps, but in-car navigation is also obviously fully supported and encouraged. We're told to expect the A10 in mid-2010 for European and Asia-Pacific markets. Full PR after the break.
