Following on the Fujitsu / Toshiba mobile merger, reports have bubbled up saying that they've already started on their first handset, which is headed to Japan's NTT DoCoMo and will be running Android. Little beyond that is known, but the platform choice is significant, given Toshiba had already put significant time and effort into some rightly impressive Windows Mobile hardware. Though the bulk of Fujitsu's previous experience in mobile revolved around feature phones, they've worked with DoCoMo on getting LTE ready in Japan. (intomobile.com)

Japan's mobile phones feature breathtakingly sophisticated technology, and the offerings from Toshiba Corp. and Fujitsu Ltd. are no exception. But simply combining their handset operations may not be enough to gain a global presence. Toshiba and Fujitsu, industrial electronics conglomerates whose products range from air conditioners to semiconductors, are in talks to merge their mobile phone businesses, according to a person familiar with the matter. The news was splashed on the front page of Japan's Nikkei business daily, with the joint entity expected to be the second biggest player in the country's saturated mobile phone market with a 19% share - trailing only Sharp Corp. But missing is the fact that the two comprise less than 1% of all the handsets sold worldwide - an indication that this deal would create another big fish in a small pond. (Wall Street Journal)
