Japanese Mobile

In Japan, the trend of changing a mobile phone is the faster in the world. Thank you for the service provider of the mobile company. In others country, mobile phone are normally use for voice communication , SMS messaging, with now 3G video call and some people are start using the mobile for their Corporate Email.

But in Japan, they been use all the above function sometimes back or 1 year advance before everyone of us. They didn't really use SMS any more not even MMS or i will say they don't really know what is MMS as they do not need it. Why ? Because sending a SMS from their phone with the limit of 160 charater as expensive while sending a Email with a much more cheaper rate which not only a imagine can be attach but a voice also could be attach.

Even more advance, if you have try a promo been done by coca cola with celcom or maxis,"Dail a coke" at the venderli machinese. At Japan they are actually using the mobile phone as their wallet. Money are debit to a account of a Sim card that come with a RFID function and allow you to touch & spend your credit on the special device build on the ,MRT station, 7-11 store, meal station & others.

With the build in camera, they even can use it to capture a name card convert into data. Or if you know what is QR Code which design by a Japan Guy. It is actually a 3D bar code which allow to content multiple information. Eg, a QR Code for SMS(Content & contact number),Web URL,Contact Detail with Name , Company Name, Phone number , Email and etc. Which really banefit all the user.

Just imagine the time you spend typing a sms to send to a SMS contest which take maybe 5min, and compare you use your build-in Camera and scan the QR code which take only 1 sec to decode and convert into sms which may only take 2 sec in total. How much time you save ?4min and 58sec.
