It seems that Panasonic is tired of sitting by and watching other major electronics giants have all the Android fun. Reuters is reporting that Panasonic is planning on jumping into the smartphone market next year, and they are going to be using Android to do it. Osamu Waki, the company’s mobile communications unit head, had the following to say on the subject:
“We misjudged the speed at which smartphones would be taken up in the Japanese market,” Osamu Waki, head of the company’s mobile communications unit told a news conference. “With the rapid shift to Android, we want to catch up quickly.”
It’s always nice to see more manufacturers get involved with Android, especially big names like Panasonic. I have a feeling we’re gonna see some pretty impressive devices from them starting next year, so stay tuned for any leaks or rumors that may come out in the coming months.
