Mobile Phones in Japan Part 2

Categories: MobilePosted on November 11th, 2006

Got a chance to play with our new friend Brian’s phone, he can do live video conferencing with the phones, (this means two people can carry on a video and audio conversations even on remote areas of the country) the screens easily flip around for easy viewing.

It’s got a 3.2 megapixel camera onboard, MP3 player, and internet and email access. The display is a very large and vibrant LCD screen, most of the phones have onboard external speakers so it’s easy to hear those speaking without ear buds. I don’t see too many folks with bluetooth earbuds here in Japan.

While larger than my phone, he’s got the advantage of convergence while I’ve got to lug around three devices to do what he can easily do: iPod, Camera, and Cell phone.

I have read this post. This is very much true. Even I own a blog account on video conferencing. Video conferencing is indeed a great innovation in technology and communications. One day video conferencing will be like an ordinary house-hold item in the next 5-10 years.I will mention your post in my blog.

The idea which I got from a conference room environment that delivered an experience which is so true to life an executive could use the solution instead of spending time and money traveling to meetings. The investment which I made on time the returns of the company justify the expense. The profits margin has increased tremendously.

Sitting with the doctors in a room and talking with other doctors via video conferencing was very exciting for me when I first time sat for a meeting. I first felt like a movie going on until when one of the doctors asked me for my comments. It was really weird and exciting.
