It’s hard not to giggle a little at the caption on the above pic…but Disney is serious. They plan on launching their own branded Android smartphones in the very near future, just in Japan as far as we know. Due to its popularity in Japan, Disney feels this is a smart move, and with Japan’s population having almost 2 activated cell phones per person (estimated activations for population), why not boost the Disney product.
Subscribers will also get an MVNO-exclusive cell phone email address (@disney.ne.jp) and one of the cases pictured below.
There isn’t a lot of specs released so far from Disney, but it’s rumored the phones will be the Sharp Galapagos 003SH re-branded, with Android 2.2, 3.8 inch touchscreen, 1GHz processor, and a 9.6 megapixel CMOS camera. Also, the phone will include various Disney specific apps and wallpapers/themes. Makes Sense.
