With the Eee PC, Asus were arguably the first company to make a serious mass-market Linux PC so it is perhaps not too surprising that they would be eager to try their luck with a Linux-based phone as well.
The Taiwanese manufacturer already sells mobile phones and PDAs running a variety of operating systems, but has announced that early next year it will roll out a phone running Google’s Android OS.
The phone will launch in the Taiwanese market initially, but Asus plan to create customised or rebadged models for sale overseas later in 2009.
