Japanese iPhone
May 6th, 2008
The evidence is beginning to mount for a Japan release of the iPhone. In addition to recent news that NTT DoCoMo, the main contender for the iPhone contract for Japan, is launching a make-over aimed at recapturing the mobile market at the exact same time the 3G iPhone is universally expected to come out, there is now news that the iPhone 2.0 firmware update includes Japanese-language input capability (images of interface at link). While not a lock for the July release in Japan, it certainly adds to the now-strong impression that this will be so.
