Garmin-Asus announced the nuvifone M20 prior to WMC (Windows Mobile Congress). It is a Windows Mobile Device with Garmin’s top notch GPS navigation system built into it. Also included is a new social networking software (ciao!) that helps to link friends together via GSM signal and etc (think of it as Google Latitude). More information after the break.
