Asus U Series Notebooks

Asus has just unveiled more details on its designer U series notebooks that some might even say that it resembles the MacBook Air from certain angles.

These new notebooks in question are the 12″ U20A, 13.3″ UX30 and the 15.6″ UX50V which are all powered by Intel’s Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV) processor that range from 1.2GHz to 1.6GHz in speed. These won’t cause a bulge in your bag whenever you travel with them since they won’t be more than 1.2″ thick at their fattest point, with the UX30 being the thinnest at 0.9″ across its length while tipping the scales at a shoulder-friendly 3.5 pounds – although you do lose the functionality of a DVD burner. All models will come with 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a LED-backlit screen, up to 500GB hard drives and a maximum of 4GB RAM.

Garmin Asus Nuvifone

Forget Eee Phones: Garmin and Asus have created a strategic alliance to design, build and sell co-branded Nuvifones, starting with the original one—now called G60—and moving towards Windows Mobile and Android.

Yes, the delayed Nuvifone is still scheduled to come out in the first half of 2009. There’s no carrier or price announcement yet—Garmin says they are in active negotiations with GSM carriers in North America (so, AT&T and T-Mobile) and in Europe—but now it will be named the Garmin-Asus Nuvifone G60, and will be the first in a line of Garmin-Asus smartphones. It will be on display and ready for groping at next month’s Mobile World Congress (formerly known as 3GSM).

It also makes it clear that Garmin is done toeing the water of the cellphone business, and is ready to jump in, holding the hand of Asus. The only casualty here is probably going to be the G60. If it were Garmin’s only offering, maybe people who love Garmin would go for it, but now, even those Garmin lovers know that better cooler things are coming—with choices from Windows Mobile and Android. Here’s hoping the G60 is cheap and village-idiot simple.
