"Thumb Tribes" forcing development cell phone business in Japan

As always Japan stands tall in providing innovative solutions when it come to communications, like 300MB download bandwidth to cell phones.
But according to a private survey conducted in Japan by MMD Labo/Update Inc, nearly 50% cell phone owners rarely use their handsets the way they were originally intended--for calls.
Of 9,584 respondents to the poll, conducted by MMD Labo/Update Inc. through a cellphone Web site, were heavy cellphone users. About 97 percent said they had signed up for flat-rate data communication services. Forty-four percent said the number of phone calls they made or received each day was "extremely few." And an additional 35 percent said they talk on their cellphones "less than three times" a day.Added together, it means almost 80 percent of the respondents rarely use their cellphones for calls.

"We were very surprised because the survey showed that cellphones are not functioning as phones for more than 40 percent of heavy cellphone users," said an official at the research institute.

Industry officials said cellphone service providers are under pressure to develop new business models and increase the average revenue they make per subscriber.(IHT/Asahi: July 23,2007)

Apple bobs in stock market as iPhone release nears: Snapvoip

Bloomberg reports that;

Apple, based in Cupertino, California, announced the release date in three new advertisements posted on its Web site. Until now, Apple had only said the device would ship in late June.

The company shipped more than 10 million iPods in the latest quarter, a 24 percent surge from a year ago. Apple is seeking to parlay that popularity into sales for its phone, with a target of 10 million sold in 2008. Availability may be ``limited,'' which could build ``buzz'' for the product, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. analyst Bill Shope said in a report today.

``Users may put off iPod purchases for the iPhone, but they may have to deal with a long wait,'' Shope said. He also said Apple will ``need to go beyond just buzz'' to justify the phone's price and two-year contract for consumers. JP Morgan is keeping its ``neutral'' rating on the shares, he said.

Shares of Apple rose $2.59, or 2.2 percent, at 10:23 a.m. New York time on the Nasdaq Stock Market. They had risen 40 percent this year before today's trading. "
