Camera-phone sales top 10 mln in Japan, paper says.
Total camera-phone sales in Japan have topped 10 million units, with industry pioneer J-Phone leading the trend with accumulated sales of 7 million units as of Wednesday, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported. When J-Phone launched the world's first camera-equipped cellphones, which could take photos and send them via e-mail, in late 2000, it set off Japan's hottest telecoms trend since the rise of the mobile Internet. Plans to beef up sales of the camera-phones in the run up to the Christmas season by J-Phone and its larger rival and Japan's top wireless carrier, NTT DoCoMo Inc., will likely help revive dwindling sales of mobile phones in Japan's maturing cellphone market, the paper said in its online Friday edition.
