It looks like the deal between Google and NTT DoCoMo to bring added Google-functionality to the carrier’s i-mode internet service has been confirmed by NTT DoCoMo. The partnership would bring pre-installed Google applications to NTT DoCoMo handsets and make it easier for the carrier’s 48 million i-mode customers to make use of apps like Google Maps.
We’re also hearing that Google and NTT DoCoMo are in talks to bring an open-source Android-based handset to Japan. Remember, NTT DoCoMo is one of the original members of Google’s Open Handset Alliance, so it makes sense that the carrier is considering releasing an Android-based handset.
