Google Android Thesis

Panasonic will go global with Android

When I was reading this link I had a better prediction for the Android success in Japan. Panasonic is going to release a Japanese handset with Android, which I think the handset will be in the format of a typical Japanese style (with a typical Japanese keyboard).  Moreover, the news also said that it will be the debut for Panasonic to sell its handset to the global market. This is a great sign that Japanese handset manufacturers, like Panasonic, have understood the benefit of having Android for its handset. 

It is nearly coming here...

Akihabaranews reported that the HTC magic will finally be released in Japan by NTT Docomo, probably within next week! It is also stated that it has japanese input...

So lets see then...
