Asus decides to terminate partnership with smart phone

Beijing time October 25 Evening news, according to foreign media reported in Monday, mobile phone manufacturers from Taiwan sources said Asus has decided to end next January with the United States navigation Equipment Factory Shang Jiaming (Garmin) in the mobile phone market cooperation. Currently, ASUS has launched its own-brand handsets domestically, but in other global markets, ASUS and Garmin-asus have launched a joint-brand mobile phone with the company.　　The contract expires in January 2011, but industry sources say Asustek has decided to end the partnership. This means that the cooperation of two companies is coming to an end, according to people familiar with the matter. ASUS will then be more flexible in developing its own branded handsets, including those that do not have location services.　　But in the future, two companies will continue to collaborate on navigation software. At the same time, there will be greater freedom for Jiajia. For example, you can provide navigation solutions to other handset vendors. Prior to that, it had cooperated with Sony Ericsson and LG, but had been forced to give up its share of the software market since it joined Asustek into the hardware market. (Li Ming)
