UPDATE: Garmin is saying that the DigiTimes report has “many inaccuracies” and that they will release a statement to clear things up. Or maybe they’re just going to try and put the cat back in the bag!
Garmin Android phone confirmed!
We were expecting the nuvifone in Q2 next year, but this tidbit attributed to Tony An, Garmin’s Asia Pacific marketing director, made us go “wha?”
“Garmin will launch Nuvifone, its first GPS-enabled handset, in the
Taiwan market in the second quarter of 2009, An noted. Garmin also
plans to launch self-developed Android handsets in the second half of
2009, with production to be outsourced.“

While it says nothing about these Android units being available in North America, it is rare for Garmin to launch a product not featured in its home market.
