Japanese phones mostly a dream of lovers of innovation. Mobile phone with dual card mobile, digital TV broadcasts and feature other. Now, they begin to look Andorid.

Unfortunately, Japan does not have a major impact mobile phones abroad. They are merely a tiny player in the realm dominated by Nokia mobile phones, Apple, Reseach In Motion, Samsung and others. However, Japanese manufacturers are now beginning to explore the global market by cooperating with Google's Android operating system.

"We have the technology to compete in the United States," said Naoki Shiraishi, who led the development of the Android technology in Sharp, Japan's largest mobile phone manufacturer. "This is the perfect time to introduce a Sharp phone in the major leagues," he said again.

Sony Ericsson, NEC, Kyocera and many other Japanese mobile phone manufacturers also eyeing Android for entry into international markets. Although initially Andorid overshadowed by Apple's iPhone mobile phone operating system output but Google managed to dominate the market. In 2010, based on the information research company Gartner, worldwide mobile phone sales Android reach 67.2 million units while the iPhone 46 million units.

For the Japanese manufacturers, carrying the popularity of Android means learning some new skills such as marketing. For example, Japanese companies began to look at the availability of software, not just a 'snobby' with quality hardware.

Indeed, the Japanese mobile industry is still fragmented. So far there has been no large companies or smart enough to make great achievements in foreign countries. In contrast, mobile phone manufacturers have long served the needs of the three largest cellular network in Japan. They market their 3G mobile phone network to 100 million users according to operator needs.

"Japanese companies have become pioneers in many fields but they have failed in building a global business," says CEO Eurotechnology, mobile industry advisory firm in Tokyo, Gerhard Fasol. What you need is a global infrastructure, said Fasol again.

It took a long time for Japan to par with other manufacturers. however, they now began to rush. Sony Ericsson is introducing a variety of platforms include Symbian and Windows Mobile for Xperia smartphones. instead, the latest mobile phones carry the Android.

Other mobile phone manufacturer, Kyocera, plans to soon flaunt themselves in the United States, with the release of Android-based smartphone with two displays of expertise and bring a variety of applications at one time.

Sharp himself, intends to bring smartphones to the North American region. Most operators set up a network of global LTE therefore not difficult for Japanese producers to enter into various countries.

Sharp's newest cell phone model with IS03 showed slim device with high resolution, touch screen and applications of 'standard' other. "Smartphones have a standard that we are worthy showcase for the rapidly developing with Android," said Shiegeru Kobayasho, Sharp officials responsible for the success of smartphones. "We do not want to build something that will not be used," he said casually.

Google's own party when it's being 'close' the various mobile phone manufacturers to use Android. Although they did not draw any advantage from the Android phones that were sold but Google profits by attracting 30% of the cost of applications that were sold in the Android Store.

"Japan has an amazing hardware with a great technician," said John Lagerling, Andorid director of Global Partnerships at Google, now they (the Japanese mobile phone manufacturer) to get the best software.
