Google Pushing For Japanese Market

ntt-docomo-logo
Google and NTT DoCoMo, Inc. will be sharing handsets soon. The search giant has landed a deal to provide internet search and email services on NTT DoCoMo’s i-Mode handsets. Google lags behind Yahoo! in Japan, so this is a really big move for them. NTT DoCoMo is Japan’s leading carrier and will give Google a quick way to really increase market share.

Personally, I don’t much care for Yahoo!’s services, I find them too cartoonish and, well, I just don’t care for them. There’s a large concern growing, however, with Google’s massive store of personal information on consumers. As Google makes it deeper into the mobile arena, I can imagine those concerns become quite a bit bigger.
