Google has invited Taiwan based computer manufacturer Asustek Computer Inc to jointly develop Google’s Android platform for their new intelligent handset model say industry sources.

It is reported that Google made the decision to cooperate with Asustek on their smartphone due to the Asus computer brand recognition worldwide, although this hasn’t been confirmed.

Asustek unveiled their first touch-screen mobile handset the Asus P552w on September 5th which features the Asustek 3D touch interface and expect to start shipping in the 4th quarter of this year.

So does this mean that Asus is going to be breaking into the smartphone market backed with Google Android OS, who knows?
