Panasonic considering Making Android Mobile phones in Japan and entering Overseas Market

Although we do get a lot of cool mobile phones from Samsung, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, LG, and Motorola, if you head on over to Japan, our mobiles phones seem to pale in comparison with the features on Japan's mobile phones. While Samsung has just rolled out their HD mobile phones such as the Samsung i8910, in Japan, HD handsets have already been so common together with HDTV mobile phone streaming, thanks to their 1seg.
Anyways, it would be totally cool if Panasonic enters the mobile phone game. Panasonic has already been supplying mobile phones for NTT Docomo and Softbank in Japan and their mobile phones are TOTALLY awesome. Panasonic has been seriously thinking of entering the overseas mobile phone market in 2010 and making Android handsets. The first Android handset has just been released in Japan, the HT-03A, which is actually the Vodafone Magic with just another name.
If Panasonic pushes through with their plans, we'll be seeing handsets such as the P-07A (inset picture) in UK pretty soon without having anyone import it from Japan.

I cannot wait until the Android explodes all over the market. iPhone is best in class, but once android get's it's open source-iness out there, there is a real chance for true innovation, openness and acceleration in the capabilities of current handsets. Bravo!
