iPhone iPod Plus

NTT DoCoMo’s Executive Vice President and CFO Masayuki Hirata said the introduction of the iPhone with Apple about to be revealed during the negotiations. Than previously in talks with Softbank was some talk that the Japanese side of the business of the said publicly for the first time?

Here, Hirata, a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) has been developed with an iPhone targeting W-CDMA (Wideband Core Division Multiple Access) technology is compatible with NTT DoCoMo’s network to the technical aspects And, Apple is proprietary and contract carriers are required to communicate on the amount of revenue-sharing system that is the key to the negotiations.

Hirata said he is also the Japanese market (CDMA) for the benefits of development in the world GSM is used to think that this is a small market in the world make the transition to the future of 3G Looking forward to the development, at this stage to take a big gamble, and the thought of Japan as a test market, the sales monopoly operators (Exclusive) is that there will not be the form.

Here is a little off the rails, the Japanese mobile phone market is very closed. We also developed technology in Japan is not alone as they pass, the Japanese terminal of the good in the world does not see the light of day. Looking from the other end was closed because of a variety of techniques may be born, and has saturated the market and the world need to work out.

However, we thought, if the iPhone was introduced in Japan as, GSM offers the same as the iPhone SDK, you? TTA so far for the Japanese technology by developing iPhone, a unique technology that had come to the world might have a chance to fly. I talk a little bit bigger, but until now no Windows Mobile penetration in Japan, too, iPhone is a big open air hole is hope.
