NTT DoCoMo, the largest mobile operator in Japan, will sign a deal with Google in order to offer e-mail and web search services via the company’s mobile phones. From the 2nd quarter of 2008, NTT DoCoMo’s subscribers will be able to access directly from their handsets Google’s features via the carrier’s i-Mode Internet network.
NTT DoCoMo also plans to work on a next-generation device to run on Google’s free mobile operating system, Android. The device should be ready somewhere at the end of 2008 and could represent the beginning of a new era for high-end mobile phones.
There are no further details about the future deal between Google and NTT DoCoMo.
