It looks like the Taiwanese mainboard maker may soon introduce its range of mobile phones to Singapore. According to Asus local sales manager Joseph Hoo, there are tentative plans for the company to launch its handsets across the island-state. Hoo, however, was noncommittal about the rollout time frame or what handset models consumers could expect, but revealed that the mobile phones would likely be 3G-enabled.
Asus recently opened the doors to its first overseas international headquarters, located in Singapore, from which it is expected to extend its range of product offerings to the region. It also announced plans to set up an R&D center in the Republic within the next three years. Currently, the company’s key consumer products for the Singapore market include notebooks, PDAs, motherboards, graphics cards and wireless LAN devices. (Shown on the left is the upcoming
