Garmin-ASUS have announced that the long-awaited nuvifone G60 touchscreen GPS cellphone will go on sale in Taiwan on July 27th, followed by a Singaporean and Malaysian launch in August alongside the Windows Mobile-based nuvifone M20.  The G60 should then arrive in Europe and the US in the second half of this year, as previously reported, while the M20 will bypass the US altogether but hit Europe, again, in 2H09.

We’re used to hearing Maemo mentioned in the same breath as Nokia, but while the open-source OS is generally to be found near Finnish hardware there’s no reason why other manufacturers – such as Chinese firm Optima – shouldn’t use it on their own devices.  The Optima OP5-E is a 4.3-inch touchscreen MID with WiFi b/g, 3G WWAN and a 3.2-megapixel camera, running Maemo and with voice call functionality.

Last week we berated LG for rolling out another tired teaser campaign for their latest Chocolate-series device; today we’re feeling a little more accommodating, having been sent a teaser video with a whole lot more promise.  According to the footage, the fourth-gen LG Black Label series device – tipped to be the BL40 - will have a 4-inch multitouch display, 7.2Mbps HSPA, WiFi and full internet browsing in a deliciously skinny chassis.

ASUS have quietly announced the official specifications for their larger Eee PC tablet, the convertible T101H.  Like its 8.9-inch T91 sibling, the T101H has an Intel Atom Z520 1.33GHz processor, 16GB SSD (paired with an included 16GB SD card) and a resistive touchscreen; however, in the case of the T101H that LED-backlit panel is 10.1-inches.

Stop the presses!  Motorola in “frankly quite reasonable phone, actually” shocker!  Fresh to the Korean market comes this, the Motorola ROKR ZN50, a full-touchscreen slider with 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS and a T-DMB2 digital TV tuner.  The 3.2-inch 240 x 427 touchscreen cellphone has a new Panorama UI, which looks surprisingly Android-like in its general layout and feel.

For a moment there, the UK was almost ahead: Mio’s Navman Spirit TV PNDs wowed and impressed with their blend of GPS navigation and digital TV, only to be blown out of the proverbial water by Korean firm Hyundai Telematics.  Their new PROVIA A7+ PND takes the Navman Spirit TV and uses that as a mere kicking-off point, stuffing in simultaneous T-DMB digital TV and TPEG road status reception and more.
