Garmin to roll out an Android-based handset in 2010?

Garmin unveiled their plans to roll out an Android-based handset as soon as 2010 at an event dedicated to reporting their financial results for the last quarter a few days ago. Aside from making a general statement, the manufacturer failed to provide specific information on the matter, so we still don´t know when we are to expect the first Garmin-branded Android device. We wish we could tell you more, especially given Google´s latest move to roll out a completely free navigational app, Google Maps Navigation that has been around since Android 2.0 came out, must have made a lot of people at Garmin quite angry indeed. We do wonder what their team is up to in order to return the favour and strike back. If you happen to know anything on the topic, please, do not hesitate to get in touch via tips@phonearena.com.
