Apple is dying to enter Japan market. As their desktop (and laptop) dominate the computer market (and vanish Windows into second place), they want iPhone to have same history. Even if they have already made conversation with DoCoMo and Softbank, iPhone is hardly to enter Japan’s market.

Why can’t they expect same success as in US and European market? The Japan’s market is very unique. The phones sold there are hardly to find in other area. Of course the phones there are very sophisticated. For example DoCoMo’s 905i series of premium phones. Priced around $460, sleek and packed with multimedia features, they’re worthy of being called iPhone killers.

Nicknamed “All-In Global Phones,” they offer, as standard features, GPS, motion-sensitive games, mobile TV and high-speed music and video downloads. Many also support videophone, mobile wallet services that turn phones into credit cards and security features, such as identification by voice or fingerprint.

Will iPhone manage to enter the toughest market for foreigners? Only time will tell.
