Garmin among New Members of Open Handset Alliance (Android)
The new entrants to the Open Handset Alliance (the consortium that is supporting the Google developed Android operating system) include ARM, Asustek, Garmin, Huawei Technologies, Sony Ericsson, Toshiba and Vodafone.
“New members will either deploy compatible Android devices, contribute significant code to the Android Open Source Project or support the ecosystem through products and services that will accelerate the availability of Android-based devices,” said the Alliance in a statement. Garmin still plans its Nuviphone for early next year, but a post on a Wired blog suggests it may gain some strength from the alliance.
