KDDI Fall 2011 Handset Launch
No iPhone5 (yet) but KDDI has just unveiled their new device lineup with plenty of Smart and WiMax goodies: http://bit.ly/oYhJiB
Lots of pre-show buzz, based on this Nikkei report, about whether the iPhone5 would debut in Japan (long-time coming) at this event.. despite the eager media scrum pressing for clues “no comment’ was all they were going to get from Tanaka-san today. The new device line-up has plenty of Wimax related action and some dual-core cpu goodiness too! The dedicated site here with each model specs as translated below. Plenty of discussion about the services side too with SNS, Music and Games leading the way. We thought the Fujitsu Arrows model deserves a quick shout-out for it’s approach to getting kanji characters input via touch-screen see PC Advisor video. Otherwise the event is streaming online (in Japanese) Here – Cheers! [Eds]
