Adding further fuel to the fire of evidence that Android will become the mobile OS of choice in 2009, GPS manufacturer Garmin has announced that it'll be building an Android-based mobile phone. The release is promised for the second half of the year.
It's unclear as to whether this is an entirely new handset or a upgrade to the still-not-released Nuvifone, but either way, this should be a touchscreen GPS mobile device that packs a powerful punch. Current plans are just to launch the device in Taiwan, but given that the company's GPS units are sold all over the world, I wouldn't be surprised if this followed too.
