Jean Snow—One of the
featured devices in the KDDI Designing Studio's prototype area (the
3rd floor's Creation Studio) is the AI-MATE. They're calling it a
hybrid communicator, something that integrates a mobile phone with PDA
features in a PDA-like form factor -- it's about the size of a typical
Palm Pilot. Although it will be making an appearance at the upcoming
Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan, this is probably the first chance you'll
get to play around with one them. Oh, and getting the demonstration
girls to help you figure out how to use them is a definite bonus.

Carlyle Group To Buy Part Of KDDI
Carlyle Group To Buy Part Of KDDI
06/22/2004 04:34 AMJapanese mobile carrier KDDI has been trying to sell their DDI Pocket
division for many months (leading to the inevitable joke/question of
whether or not KDDI minus DDI will be simply known as "K"?). DDI
Pocket offers the personal handyphone system, which is popular in
Japan. It's sort of a cheap approximation of a mobile phone system,
but has found new life in supplying wireless data access to Japanese
users. The expected buyer from the beginning of all this talk has
always been Kyocera, who already owned a small piece of DDI pocket.
Despite denials, it looks like Kyocera is buying up DDI pocket, but
they've brought in quite the powerhouse partner - which will actually
make them the smaller player in the deal. The Carlyle Group has
announced that they'll
b
e teaming up with Kyocera to buy DDI Pocket. The Carlyle Group,
of course, is known for hiring up big shot political insiders and
other world leaders (such as Lou Gerstner) so they certainly have a
few connections up their sleeves. They'll now own 60% of the firm and
apparently are looking to
bring
the technology to developing countries that might not have the
infrastructure for a full mobile phone system, but could find the PHS
system useful. KDDI, in the meantime, will focus on their real mobile
phone market in Japan, which was starting to eat into the DDI Pocket
market anyway. It's an interesting look at how a technology that is
becoming obsolete in an advanced society could present huge
opportunities for developing nations instead. As the second link
above shows, this also shows how Japanese firms are increasingly open
to being bought by foreign firms -- something that's been rare in the
past (though, Ripplewood's buyout of J-Phone's landline business in
Japan suggests a trend).

KDDI Launches "EZ Book Land"
KDDI Launches "EZ Book Land"
04/19/2005 11:03 AM
au is all set to launch their "EZ Book Land!" e-book
service in Japan, hoping to breathe new life into the dying market. I
seem to recall e-books failing on pretty much all fronts, but given
most of us have our mobile phones close at any given moment, this may
prove to be a better destination for the contents. au is throwing a
wacky business model at the service, where they hope downloading
e-books will lead to purchases of the same books on their online
store. But you can get comics, leading me to believe this service will
be far more successful than previous e-book services in Japan.

I've gone on and on about the great work that KDDI's AU is
doing in the design department (see the AU Design Project), but you
know, they've also become quite good at going after certain key
demographics, and it's not hard to see what they're trying to do with
their new Sweets line, featuring their patented "friendly design."
Going head-to-head with Docomo's Lechiffon, the Sweets phones
come in 3 appropriately named colors: Cassis Mousse (pink), Vanilla
Beans (white), and Mango Pudding (orange). You can also adorn them
with an assortment of case coverings. Kawaii!!!

KDDI Announces W21CAII For Some Reason

KDDI presents the "W21CAII," an update to the
"W21CA." What was updated? I'm having a hard time finding out —
the press release makes a big deal out of this "PC Site Viewer," a
version of Opera for viewing normal web sites on mobile phones, but
the W21CA already had that. The camera and screen don't seem to be
improved either. It's not the "Chaku Uta Full" (an AAC ringer format
with iTunes-like purchases from the phone itself) support, and it's
not the stereo speakers. Well, it appears to be just the body colors
(they've added Sky Blue and Luminous White) and some slight design
changes. Nice one, KDDI.
