Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo announced a partnership with Google. The two important point of this partnership are Google services access through i-Mode in order to speed up the load time and improve usability of the most used G applications (maps, gmail) and, most of all, the agreement to bring Android-based handsets to the Japanese markets.
Japan could be the first real benchmark for G's new mobile platform since Japanese users are more careful to what they choose and are more used to consume high profile services. A success could drive other carriers/manufacturer agreements on Android adoption; on the other hand, a failure could be a gravestone on Android future.
