When Aiphone meet iPhone
No place for 2G in Japan. Means that the 3G iPhone will become reality.
This is gonna be funny yet significant, especially for blogger like me which impatiently want to meet and greet the official iPhone in Asia.
Here is the funny stuff:
Yukiko Kanoh, contributor for Nikkei Electronics had reported in March 24, 2008 that Apple, Inc., creator of iPhone had reached a friendly agreement with Japan-based company Aiphone Co Ltd.
Both company discussed a very funny important issue concerning the similarity between “Aiphone” and “iPhone“. Of course, although textually they are different but we can have no difference from both in term of pronunciation or spelling. Perhaps, still they have a difference. But not for Japanese. He .. hee ..
The hot one:
By this agreement, we can only predict that Apple, Inc. is seriously want to fly their iPhone up in to the sky of Japan (sorry for this writing style). Now, since Japan is the country (probably the only one) which have already abolished 2G technology, we can enact that the next iPhone version will absolutely be in 3G.
Note:
Aiphone Co Ltd perhaps is not as popular as Apple, Inc. but their achievement in telecommunication and manufacturing industry has gained a lot of attention and reputable awards such as The Deming Prize; a prestigious award which they become the first and only intercom manufacturer to win it. Read their “about us” page to know a lot more.
