Japan’s top mobile carrier, NTT DoCoMo, has partnered with Google to enable Google apps on its mobile phones. Incidentally, it is one of Google’s partners in the Open Handset Alliance. The company has its own mobile internet service called I-mode, which is very popular with mobile users in Japan. From now on, Google will be made the default search engine for people who use I-mode and Google ads will also appear alongside the search results. In due course of time, NTT DoCoMo plans to add Google Maps and YouTube also.
More importantly, the company is planning to develop a mobile phone that will support Google Android. Considering the fact that Google Android platform is not a fully developed one, this is a huge support from the top mobile carrier in Japan and also, this was just the kind of support Google was looking for from mobile carriers, especially the ones in its Open Handset Alliance. So, Google might well as be happy with these developments.
