DigiTimes is reporting that ASUS plans to launch an Android-based handset by the end of the year. No details other than a fourth quarter launch. Will it make it to the US? What bands will it support? Will it have a slide-out QWERTY? More questions than answers at this point, but having another major OEM like ASUS entering the market will only mean a brighter future for Google’s smartphone OS.
