Sharp to Sell iPhones in China Before Olympics

Sharp Corporation of Japan decided to branch out after its disappointing sales performance as it faced difficulties in trying to compete with low-priced Nokia phones. Sharp, however, decided to take a different approach and target the high-end market, plunging into growing economies such as China. Sharp will now be the only Japanese firm selling handsets in Korea since fellow Japanese company, Kyocera, withdrew from the market. The start of sales is projected to be on June, 2008, before the Beijing Olympics begin.
