Okay, Maybe I’m Reaching
April 21st, 2008
But still, this news is rather interesting:
NTT Docomo says the logo will go into regular use from July 1st. It is being introduced as part of a broader overhaul of strategy which the company hopes will help it regain momentum in the mobile market. If you want to read the new mission statement, it is here (Japanese).
Hmm… A new logo and a push to “regain momentum in the mobile market”… which just happens to take place at almost exactly the time Apple is expected to release the new 3G iPhone and version 2 of the iPhone software, namely after the June WWDC conference in mid-June.
Like I said, maybe I’m reaching, but nevertheless coincidences like this should raise red flags.
I always thought that Softbank was also a strong contender for Japanese iPhone distribution ?
That’s great. I’m moving to Tokyo next year so this is going to be juuust great.
