Today Garmin-Asus announced two new nuvifone's, the Android-powered A50 and the Windows Mobile 6.5.3-powered M10. The two devices share many features, including 3.5-inch touchscreens, 4GB of built-in storage, Microsoft Exchange support, full GPS, and tightly integrated navigation services.

  • A50: This slab-style device has an HVGA capacitive display, accelerometer, 3 megapixel camera, and access to the Android Market. It includes an e-compass and Garmin's cityXplorer maps, which let users map walking or mass transit directions between points. The A50 will be available in Europe during the first half of 2010.
  • M10: The M10 has a WVGA display with a 3D user interface. It supports Wi-Fi and HSDPA 3G networks, and has a 5 megapixel camera that automatically geo-tags pictures. It will be available in Asia and Europe during the first half of 2010.
AT&T sells a Garmin-branded nuvifone in the U.S., but there's no word if either of these devices will be available here.
