Japan’s Phone Firms Eye Global Move

“There is no way I can live without my phone,” says Japanese salaryman Yuichi Koizumi.

It’s not an unusual claim around the globe, but he really means it. His handset is not an ordinary smart phone.

As well as the usual music player, camera and web browser, Mr Koizumi also uses it as a television, credit card, and train and plane ticket.

“It’s my life.”

Others in Japan also use their mobile phones to navigate their way home by global positioning system, or to buy cinema tickets and to update personal blogs from wherever they are.
