Apple picker Tokyo's MM Research Institute Ltd. released a report detailing how the Japanese smartphone market is doing. The report further states that Apple more than doubled its iPhone sales last year.
From March 31, 2009 to March 31, 2010, it sold 1 iPhones. The iPhone thus has a 690% share of the smartphone market in Japan, the second place was occupied by HTC with 000% and the third by Toshiba with less than 72% (exactly 11%).
However, the share of Google's phone, which runs on the Android operating system, is also expected to grow next year. NTT DoCoMo Inc and KDDI Corp will mainly take care of the sale of this model. But how many will actually be sold is another matter. We all know that the initial worldwide sales of Google's phone were really low compared to the iPhone's statistics.
Apple's dazzling success in Japan is partly attributed to aggressive marketing from exclusive retailer SoftBank Mobile, which offers really competitive pricing.
He will probably be an aggressive "salesman". Although the shipping cost can also be significant.
