So what if Asus and Garmin recently broke up, at least it was amicable and the two sides can still remain friends, right? Apparently so, as Asus managed to sweet talk Garmin into giving it sole rights to distribute Garmin navigation software on Android handsets. All Asus has do in return is slap the Garmin Navigation trademark on the back of said handsets.
These devices will be bear Asus' own branding and will launch sometime in January of next year. And while Garmin has agreed not to cooperate with other Android smartphone makers, it does plan to launch free software on Apple's Appe Store and RIM's BlackBerry App World, Asus said.
