Apple is in negotiations with two Japanese wireless carriers to sell its iPhone, but negotiations are dragging out over the critical issue of revenue-sharing, according to press reports.
Apple is talking with Japan's top carrier, DoCoMo, as well as No. 3 carrier Softbank. Apple CEO Steve Jobs recently had a sit-down with DoCoMo chief executive Masao Nakamura in San Francisco to discuss a deal, the Wall Street Journal reported.
"The negotiations are not going smoothly, as Apple's conditions are extremely hard to meet," a source familiar with the meeting told Reuters. "The ball is in Apple's court right now."
Apple appears to be ready and willing to play hardball in Japan. While it clearly has shown a preference to cut exclusive deals with the top carrier in a country -- that means DoCoMo -- press reports suggest that Softbank is extremely interested in becoming the iPhone carrier, leverage Apple would use to bring DoCoMo to its terms.
Apple has been talking to Softbank for some time, and the No. 3 carrier is making an aggressive push to take customers away from its larger competitors. The Wall Street Journal suggested Jobs is feeling quite smug about Japan. "A person familiar with the situation said Apple doesn't expect to have any difficulty concluding a deal with a Japanese operator," the Journal reported.
Having previously used a FP2 equipped device at the S60 Summit in Madrid earlier this year and at various “Evening with S60″ parties I can say that the first thing you will notice is how snappy the operating system is. The transition effects are also very subtle, to the point that the only way you notice them is if you turn them off and the device just doesn’t feel right. Expect the first FP2 devices to be rolled out in Q12008 along with Flash Lite 3 support.

It's not exactly a sleek Apple boutique on Manhattan's Lower West Side -- in fact, it looks like a rather cheerless box in a bleak Upper Midwest suburb -- but the first "authorized" BlackBerry store (does that mean there are "bootleg" BlackBerry stores?) had its grand opening this week in Farmington Hills, Mich.
Featuring "the most comprehensive offering of BlackBerry products and services," the new retail outlet is operated by Wireless Giant, a chain founded in 1996. The store is multicarrier, which means you can purchase BlackBerrys and data plans supported by any of the Big 4 U.S. wireless carriers: AT&T, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile, or Verizon Wireless.
The new BlackBerry outlet follows a trend of device-makers opening their own stores: the Apple stores have become magnets for Mac-heads and lovers of iPhones and iPods, while Nokia has gradually been rolling out its own retail locations, with flagship stores in Chicago, New York, and Shanghai.

"We want our readers to be able to follow the news even when they're in places where they cannot lay their hands on a paper or (access the Internet on) a computer," Thorbjoern Larsson, Dagens Nyheter (DN) editor-in-chief and publisher, told AFP.
"This is yet another way of distributing the news," he added.
DN subscribers can purchase the Nokia 6120 third generation phone on the paper's website, and by signing up for a 199-kronor (31-dollar, 21-euro) monthly call plan can freely surf the daily's website by simply hitting a special "DN" button.
Larsson said the offer was already proving popular.
"After we announced the launch this morning (Wednesday), we received so many calls that our switchboard broke down. There's a lot of interest out there," he said.
While Sweden is generally considered technologically advanced, DN says the Scandinavian nation lies far behind countries like Japan and South Korea when it comes to the number of people who use mobile phones to surf the Internet.
"Many people (in Sweden) think it's complicated (to Internet surf on their mobile phones) and they don't know how much it costs," the paper's head of marketing Johan Othelius told DN.
"Now we're removing that obstacle," he added.

Piotr Staniaszek, a 22-year-old oil and gas well tester in rural northwest Alberta, became a figure of international media attention this week when his father went to the press to complain about the size of his son's bill.
Staniaszek's father, also named Piotr Staniaszek, said his son thought he could use his new phone as a modem for his computer as part of his C$10 unlimited browser plan from Bell Mobility, a division of Bell Canada.
He downloaded movies and other high-resolution files unaware of the charges they would incur.
"He's working in the field sometimes, alone, in the shack. What to do? Drink vodka or go on the Internet?" Staniaszek senior told Reuters on Thursday from Calgary, Alberta.
"Now it's $85,000 and nobody told him," he said.
According to the invoice, his son rang up C$60,000 in charges in November, and they have since climbed to C$85,000.
Staniaszek senior said Bell has agreed to reduce the charges to C$3,400 for "goodwill."
"It's still high...Who can afford it?" he said, adding his son can barely make payments on a new truck he bought for work, and will continue to fight the charges.
A Bell spokesman said the plan is not intended for downloading files to a computer, and that's clear in his contract.
Staniaszek said his son did not want to talk to the press after the interest his story has received and that he is afraid to use his cell phone and incur more long-distance charges.

The app is packaged as a humble .SWF file at the moment and has to be launched from the Flash Lite 3 shell. Don't let that put you off though.

Building on the popular FOMA SA800i model that DoCoMo released in March 2006, the F801i offers many new or improved child-friendly features (see attachments) for security, theft/loss prevention, ease of use and more.
In an emergency, the child can quickly switch on the phone's 100-decibel alarm, which produces two types of noise alternately. When the alarm is activated, the phone also emits a bright light (high-intensity LED) that is easily visible to people in the surrounding area.
The phone can be set to automatically notify loved ones when the alarm is activated, and provide the handset's current location as well. Computer-generated phone calls can be placed to up to three registered numbers and messages can be sent to registered individuals who subscribe to the
If the phone's power is switched off, a presetting can enable the handset to automatically turn back on (in as little as five minutes) and message the incident and the phone's location to a registered DoCoMo phone.
An amulet-style remote controller worn by the child can be used to make a misplaced phone beep if within a range of about 10 meters (may vary with usage environment). If the user moves even farther from the handset, the phone can automatically lock (requires presetting). If the handset remains out of the amulet's range for more than five minutes, a message can be sent automatically to a registered DoCoMo phone.
The F801i is ergonomically designed for easy use by small hands, and its waterproof body can withstand accidental immersion (up to 30 minutes at one-meter depth) or concentrated water sprays.
The phone's soft-rectangle shape and round speaker grille enclosed by a ring-shape LED were conceived by renowned designer Kashiwa Sato to symbolize safety, peace of mind, creativity and the future.
Kylie Konnect (http://www.Kyliekonnect.com), launched November 2 to coincide with the digital release of her single "2 Hearts," combined universal handset access with the concept of an Internet fan community. It may well be the first artist-based social networking platform of its kind.
Members can create a profile, write blogs, upload photos, download content and connect with other fans all over the world by mobile phone or Web browser. Minogue maintains her own Kylie Konnect profile where fans can access regularly updated news items, blog posts and a photo gallery.
The site has drawn more than 10,000 users.
The Australian pop star's new album, "X," meanwhile, recently debuted at No. 4 on the U.K. album chart. A U.S. release has not yet been scheduled. Minogue's last regular-issue studio album, "Body Language," hit No. 42 on the Billboard 200 in 2003.
Minogue's U.K. label Parlophone, which created the site with London firm New Visions Mobile, will update it with exclusive features and content, including music, video, news, tour information and contests. Kylie Konnect furthers the concept of the Lily Allen Loyalty Club, a mobile-access fan site that Parlophone and New Visions launched in 2006, which offers members points toward exclusive prizes.

After rumors earlier this week that negotiations with China Mobile broke down, Chen Jingsheng, vice president of D.Phone, has told Chinese media that D.Phone has signed a strategic agreement with Apple for the iPhone and iPhone will be first sold at D.Phone's stores after it enters the Chinese market.
Chen says that iPhone will come to China around the Spring Festival holiday of 2008 and will be sold at D.Phone's retail stores. However, Chinese media still reports that China Mobile will be iPhone's premier partner in China though the parties' negotiation reportedly ended due to disputes on a revenue split. Those news reports say it is unlikely that Apple will cooperate with a mobile phone dealer like D.Phone for the iPhone.
Some other analysts quoted by local media say they believe the spreading of the news that Apple has signed with D.Phone for the iPhone might be a strategy that Apple has taken to force China Mobile to make a concession in their negotiations.

Singapore-based Verzio has launched what it claims is the world's first dual-SIM phone with triband 3G, called Duplii. While not much has been revealed about how its dual-SIM functionality actually works, the handset apparently supports "simultaneous dual mode standby" and is "switch-capable between two incoming calls." The Duplii also comes with a 2-megapixel camera, 2.2-inch QVGA TFT display, expandable memory card slot, and a built-in music and video player.
In addition to Duplii, Verzio has announced the lower-end dual-SIM handset, Twinn, which it also claims is the world's first EDGE/E-GPRS triband dual-SIM slider phone. Some of its key features include a 1.3-megapixel camera, 2.2-inch QCIF TFT display, TransFlash card slot and multimedia player.
According to the company, Duplii and Twinn have launched only in the Philippines. However, it is in talks with distributors in Hong Kong and Singapore and expects a global launch in the first quarter of 2008. The Duplii and Twinn are retailing for $350 and $280, respectively.
Samsung has recently also announced its first dual-SIM handset, the SGH-D880. Slated for a Singapore rollout in December, the D880 will come with a 3-megapixel camera and FM radio, but not 3G/HSDPA.

"Apple threatened in an e-mail to go after them for illegally 'unlocking' parallel imported iPhones," the newspaper reported Friday, citing several anonymous sources. Apple threatened to pursue damages of S$1,000 (US$691) for every unlocked iPhone sold by retailers in Sim Lim Square, a local mall full of electronics shops, the report said.
The Straits Times report indicated Apple's threats rest on a claim that unlocking the iPhone was a violation of the software license agreement. That is not the case in the U.S., where laws provide a specific exemption that allows users to unlock cell phones.
Apple was not available to comment on the report.
The iPhone is not officially available in Singapore, but unlocked handsets have been on sale for some time in local electronics market, as they have in other countries around Asia. However, calls to several shops in Sim Lim Square Friday confirmed that unlocked iPhones have become scarce.
"We used to sell it, but not anymore," said a sales manager at Royal Plus Pacific, an electronics shop in Sim Lim Square. The shop stopped selling iPhones because they ran out of stock, he said, adding they hadn't received a threatening e-mail from Apple.
