When you live in Japan, it’s only natural to use your 3G connection on a daily basis. That said, we were not surprised to learn that as of April 2009, there are more than 100 million 3G subscribers in the Land of the rising Sun.
Qualcomm shared this news with the world adding they are very proud of its regional collaborations and its role in helping to expand 3G CDMA in Japan. “We look forward to working even more closely with our partners to reach the next industry milestone,” Qualcomm Japan’s Jun Yamada said.
For the record, it all started with NTT DoCoMo which launched its 3G network in October of 2001, and was closely followed by KDDI in April 2002, and Softbank Mobile in December of the same year.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
