ASUS is reported to be "focusing on Android" more than Windows Phone 7

Even though we saw a slight glimpse of a Windows Phone 7 powered ASUS smartphone not too long ago, it might in fact be one of the few to come to market if words from one of their marketing managers are telling.

Steven Tu, marketing manager at ASUSTeK South Africa, talked about the”mystery” ASUS device shown off not too long ago sporting the Windows Phone 7 flare and said, “As always, Garmin-Asus seeks the best for our consumers either on Android platform or on Windows platform. However, we see the potential of Android platform devices, so we are focusing on Android platform currently.”

Although it might come off to be a surprise for some people, it does prove to be telling since ASUS was nowhere in sight for Microsoft's big shindig in New York City for Windows Phone 7 back on October 11th. However, it doesn't completely mean that the manufacturer will not produce any WP7 devices – which is evident since South Africa is in line to see a WP7 device ready for the “December holidays.”
