iPhoneWorld.ca . .Japan is well known for its love of advanced mobile phone devices that can do almost anything at the moment, from purchasing movies and subway tickets, to watching digital TV.

We already covered the news on Apple’s talks with DoCoMo on selling the iPhone in Japan. Now, according to Information Week, the companys chances to win over its main competitors -Softbank and KDDI- are even bigger. As the Nikkei news service reported from Tokyo on Wednesday, Google will provide a cluster of its services for NTT DoCoMo. Google is already an important partner of Apple in the US. NTT DoCoMo is to benefit from Google services including search, e-mail, calendar, and photo-sharing options over DoCoMo’s i-Mode network.
DoCoMo is the biggest mobile service provider in Japan. Together with Softbank (another popular provider in Japan) DoCoMo is using the WCDMA infrastructure, which is far better than Apple’s Edge/GSM in Europe. Adapting to the local infrastructure’s specifications remains to be the biggest challenge for Apple.
Japan’s second largest mobile services provider: KDDI, is not posing a threat to its competitors in the run to provide iPhone in Japan. The main reason for that is the highest quality of infrastructure used by KDDI. KDDI’s CDMA2000 makes it even more hard for Apple to adopt its iPhone to its specifications.
Apple must be ready with all the adjustments needed to operate in technologically advanced Japanese infrastructure soon, as it has announced to introduce America’s handset in Japan 2008.

A partner of the Japanese DoCoMo, KTF hopes to be supplying the iPhone in South Korea sometime next year.
KTF seems rather confident that they will be the main provider of the iPhone for S. Korea, and if DoCoMo (KTF’s second largest shareholder) can succeed in nabbing Japan’s provider status, they’d certainly gain a chunk of revenue out of it. Steve Jobs’ ‘OK’ of the deal is apparently the only thing holding KTF back.
“We want to sell it, but Steve Jobs has been playing hard (in the negotiation),” says Vice President of KTF, Kim Yeon-Hak.
He continued with: “It’s difficult because the size of the Korean market is small. But someday we will do it, using our relationship with NTT Docomo.'’
We will continue to cover the iPhone moving into KTF’s hands as more pops up.
