We weren’t expecting this to happen but that doesn’t mean we’re not anxious to see what handsets these three companies are going to bring us. NEC, Casio and Hitachi are going to work together next year to deliver new mobile devices. The deal will be inked in April 2010 and the new trio will become the second-largest venture in Japan after Sharp. We’d like to tell you we have an idea of what phones to expect from NEC Casio and Hitachi but unfortunately we really don’t. We can only hope to be pleasantly surprised sometime later next year by the first NEC Casio and Hitachi mobile phones.
