DoCoMo confirms talks with Apple regarding iPhone
We already had an inkling that Apple was in talks with both NTT DoCoMo and Softbank to bring the iPhone to Japan, but a spokesperson confirmed today that Steve Jobs has indeed met with DoCoMo president Masao Nakamura, but didn't say when or exactly what they talked about. That's not much to go on, of course, but seeing as any phone on DoCoMo's FOMA network will have to be UMTS / HSDPA -- that's 3G, to all you keeping score at home -- we're keeping a close eye on this one.

What does Japan need iPhones for? I wouldn't think Korea or Japan would touch them. Those Asians only like feature-rich handsets. I think it must be a prestige thing counting how many features they can put inside a phone. Apple isn't going to get much love in the Far East.
