iPhone iPod Plus

In a recent interview granted to the New York Times, Professor. Takeshi Natsuno of Keio University said that the biggest problem of Japanese phone companies is the difficulty of selling the devices outside their home country.

The professor, in this sense, it is expressed positively about the new iPhone calling it a “forward model” and praising the choice of Apple’s focus on usability to the mere nature of the hardware.

Like him wrong? The three main leaders of the Japanese phones (Sharp, NEC and Hitachi) are totally absent in our markets, resulting in a very singular phenomenon. It seems that NTT DoCoMo is already working on a new interface borrowed directly from the iPhone.
