At a recent press conference in Tokyo, Sharp Corp’s Executive VP Masafumi Matsumoto, has outlined a global handset strategy that will see the company drastically boost its overseas sales whilst still maintaining its large share in Japan.

Sharp’s plans for the European and US markets will see the company expand it’s smartphone business, with speculation from Matsumoto that Android could be an alternative to their Windows Mobile-based smartphones.

“We select the OS in accordance with the telecommunications carriers’ opinions, and we have no intention of setting any OS as standard. Google’s Android is one of the options.”

“We have acquired Linux technology through, for instance, the development of the Zaurus,” he said. “It is possible that we will introduce a new OS in the manner we do not sacrifice our development efficiency.”
