What's going on in Japan? (No.7)
Sony Corp. plans to take on the growing global popularity of Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPad brands with a new range of portable devices, including tablet computers to compete with the iPad. The Tokyo-based company, which announced a business alliance with Google Inc. on May 20, plans to base the new products on Google's Android operating system, the main rival to the iPhone OS operating system. It expects to start worldwide distribution later this fiscal year. Sony, which started a content distribution service in the United States in April this year, will launch a similar service in Japan next year to provide content such as movies and videogames for the new devices.
