It is sure looking to be a bit different in the mobile technology world. It seems it would not even be a North American mobile telecom carrier that would take aim at the Google Android platform. Rather, reports have indicated that a Japanese mobile telecom carrier would be the first to have a crack at it.

NTT DoCoMo, regarded as the number one mobile telecom carrier in Japan, said it is considering a cell phone based on the technology. It is said to include getting support for I-mode, DoCoMo’s hit mobile Internet service, on the Android platform.

The Google Android is a Linux-based platform for cell phones that will combine open-source components and include an operating system, middleware stack, customizable user interface and applications. The alliance will reportedly see Google products and applications added to DoCoMo handsets. These will include the addition of a Google search box on the main I-mode menu page from which users will access mobile and PC Web sites. Google Ads will also appear alongside search results.
