Although Samsung has released its Galaxy S smartphone in quite a few countries, Japan is not one of them. I’m not sure why that’s the case, but what do I know – I would expect that the ever hi-tech people of Japan dig Android and high-end smartphones such as the Galaxy S.
Anyway, we just heard Samsung’s all-touchscreen Android baby will be offered by NTT DoCoMo at some point in October. Specs wise, there shouldn’t be any changes with the Japanese Galaxy S, except the fact that it will ship with Android 2.2 Froyo — unlike existing Galaxy S smartphone which are sold with Android 2.1 running the show. Moreover, it is said that Samsung’s smartphone will be launched alongside DoCoMo’s e-book store, which it builds in partnership with Dai Nippon Publishing.
In the other news from the Land of the rising Sun, Samsung Galaxy Tab should be available in March. Again, it will most likely be sold with some Japan-only ebook store client pre-installed…

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.
