Garmin GPS nuvifone

Ever since the Apple iPhone came out, there’s been a steady stream of new phones with large touchscreens coming into the market. The latest is the nuvifone from GPS maker Garmin. The nuvifone is around the size of an iPhone. It has a 3.5 inch touch screen, HSDPA support, camera, integrated media player and of course GPS. No other details (including pricing) are available at the moment, but Garmin expects to release the phone in 3Q this year.

This is probably the first smartphone designed with GPS as the main service. The innovation bar for smartphone has been set higher by the nuvifone; whatever Palm has planned will have to step up.
