Synergy between mobile and PC. News content, rating for content
When will phones based on new platform be out?
KDDI has announced new platform for their mobile based on Qualcomm. How about softbank?
softbank's platform is open on hard and soft. handsets will be out next year.
How will be the relationship between POP-i and WM or Symbrian?
Exporting POP-i oversea?
Oversea adaption are welcome. For free.
WM and Symbrian.......
Low adaption of smartphone for Japan.
AU and DoCoMo have launched new services exclusively for the new phones. How about softbank?
We try to launch service that is highly compatable with new and existing handsets.
during the vodafone-era, there was existing service for downloading video from PC and transfer to mobile. Would the new free Yahoo Video service cannabises this?
ezWeb and imode has a lot of contents that needs registration and has become a hassle for end-user.
Basically free contents in PC will be free for mobile also.
No change for data pricing for smartphones in pipeline.
Wouldn't it be hard for logistic to launch a phone with so many variation?
A system for coordination between shop and handset makers is in making. For example, there will be daily update on sales based on color and quantities sold at each shop provided for makers to coordinate shipping.
