Square brings its mobile payments service to Japan
Jack Dorsey’s little card reader that could TM has made its first journey beyond continental North America, and is now available in Japan. In order to make the leap, Square has teamed up with Sumitomo Mitsui Card Corporation, the business that introduced Visa to the country. The transaction rate for the service is 3.25 percent, up half a percent from the 2.75 percent payable in North America and Canada. It’s been a long time coming, considering that PayPal Here arrived in Japan over a year ago — but hopefully now the pair can slug it out in the streets of Tokyo, Super Sentai style.

Square brings it’s mobile payment service to Japan
Square is a mobile payment service that uses small attachments to your mobile device to scan credit card to make payments. The company has now announced that it’s first country outside of the US it will be bringing the it’s hardware and software to is Japan. The iPhone is very successful in Japan which makes it the ideal breading ground for Square to take off on a massive scale.
This is a very tactical move for Square who are competing against Paypal who have already got a foothold in the japanese market, unlike Paypal Square doesn’t require the credit or debit card details you just need to swipe the card through the self powered unit to get the details. This device is focused on the small business owner in Japan there are many; which makes it a the perfect place to go next.
According to recent stats the iPhone makes up 66% of smartphone sales in Japan, compared to just 32% for Android devices. Unlike Paypal, Square charges 3.25% per credit card swipe. If the company makes a big dent in Japan we could see the service widening it’s scope and coming to other country fairly soon.
The CEO of Square Jack Dorsey said “I am honored to introduce Square to a country with a rich history of design, innovation and tradition. Square shares the same values and attention to detail in our products”.

Sony Xperia UL announced for Japan, 5-inches and 1080p display
Sony's latest only headed for Japan at present, but packs some good looking specs
Yet another Sony smartphone has been formally announced, but like the Xperia A before it, this one too is destined only for Japan at the moment. Previously rumored, it's called the Xperia UL, and appears to be cut from a similar mould to the Xperia Z.
Spec wise, we're looking at another 5-inch, 1080p display. Underneath, propelling everything along is a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro, 2GB of RAM and a 2300mAh battery. On-board storage is 16GB, and cameras come in at 13MP on the back and 3.1MP on the front. And, in true Sony fashion the Xperia UL is waterproof and dustproof.
The Xperia UL retains some of the same design features as the Xperia Z too. That same on/off button on the side, but the glass back is gone. It appears to be available in three different colors — black, white and pink — and is said to be heading to both KDDI and NTT Docomo in the coming weeks.

Sony Xperia UL announced for Japan: 5-inch 1080p display and 15-frame burst photography skills (video)
The FCC may have spoiled the surprise, but Sony’s now gone official with yet another smartphone and this one’s for its native Japan. The Xperia UL appears to be a slightly thicker riff on the Xperia Z, matching the display of the company’s early-2013 flagship, with a quad-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro (APQ8064) ticking behind the 5-inch 1080p screen. It’s worth noting that it’s a substantial resolution bump from the similar-looking 720p NTT DoCoMo Xperia A. Although it’s not the Snapdragon 600 rumored, Qualcomm’s S4 Pro flexes its muscle through Exmor RS 13-megapixel camera sensor, offering up the ability to capture 15 frames in a second. NFC, naturally, is already in attendance as well as the Felica wireless payment system. You’ll also get the benefits of both a physical camera button and water (IPX5/8) and dust resistance (IP5X) — two features in tandem that should help separate it from Sony’s pair of existing 5-inch 1080p smartphones. The Xperia UL will launch on KDDI’s au network in white, black and hot pink colors on May 25th. Check out the obligatory close-up ad after the break.
Update: The Xperia UL runs on an S4 Pro processor, not the Snapdragon 600 initially stated.

Sony Xperia UL Leaks Out with Familiar Design and Snapdragon 600 CPU
Although only about four months have passed since Sony introduced the Xperia Z/ZL high-end smartphone duo for the first time, we’ve had a lot to talk about between then and now concerning the company’s 2013 line-up.
The Xperia L, SP, ZR and A have become official of late, a mystery S39h has been spotted online and is said to land in the near future, while the i1 Honami and Togari are likely to get their own intros sometime in the fall. Talk about a smartphone launch spree, eh?
Well, apparently that’s not even the end of it for Sony this year. In fact, another handheld has leaked out on the web, being possibly readied for a summer launch over in Japan. Internally known as Gaga while in early development phases, the thing will reportedly be branded as the Xperia UL once released.
That certainly sounds random given the new guy will be a high-ender while the OG Xperia U is a mid-end device at best, but hey, there are only so many letters in the alphabet for Sony to use, right?
Anyway, the UL doesn’t look like a groundbreaking device (as the i1 is rumored to be, for instance), but it could still find a nice, warm spot in the Android food chain above both the Xperia Z and ZL. That’s mostly due to the thing supposedly packing a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, unlike the S4 Pro-powered Z and ZL.
The rest of the “known” features include a 5-inch Full HD screen, the already customary water and dust protection, 2 gigs of RAM, 32 GB of on-board memory, microSD support and a 2,300 mAh battery, so essentially there’s nothing really new here besides the slightly upgraded chip. Oh, yeah, and the doubling of the internal storage space.
As far as design goes, the Xperia UL is definitely not the head-turner the Z is and looks more similar to the ZL, albeit the bezels seem a little thicker. In any case, the Xperia design language is a standout, so chances are this is going to sell like hotcakes if priced correctly.
And if launched globally, because rumor has it the UL could be made available exclusively to Japan’s number two carrier, KDDI. Oh, well, it’s not like the world doesn’t already have its fair share of sleek-looking, Snapdragon 600-powered gadgets, right?
Sony ‘Xperia UL’ could be headed to Japan’s KDDI AU
Codename 'Gaga' device pictured, rumored to pack Snapdragon 600 CPU, 1080p display
Things could be getting a bit more crowded at the high end of Sony's smartphone range. Recently-leaked images obtained by Chinese site CNMO suggest that a new handset may be on the way. The "Xperia UL" — previously known by its codename "Gaga" — is shown in images that seem to have been taken during regulatory testing of the device. From the front and back the "UL" looks a lot like the Xperia ZL, with a similarly curved back and featureless front. From the side we can also see Sony's iconic round power button.
But unlike the ZL, the Xperia UL seems to feature a removable battery door, allowing access to a 2300mAh juicer. Other specs reported by CNMO include a Snapdragon 600 CPU, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and a 1080p display of unknown size.
The branding on the back suggests it'll be headed to KDDI AU in Japan, so there's nothing yet to indicate a wider global launch. We suspect the next major Sony launch for the west might be the rumored "Honami," said to include Cyber-shot-inspired optics in a 20-megapixel rear camera.

[WTF Japan] NEC Unveils A Water-Cooled Smartphone – With Jewelery – Especially For Women
It’s probably not the water-cooled superphone you’ve been looking for, but Japanese smartphone maker NEC announced the succinctly named Medias X 06E for the NTT DoCoMo network today, the world’s first smartphone with a CPU cooled by H2O. Unfortunately, the specs are decidedly middling, and NEC intends to market the device as a “lady’s” phone in essentially the same vein as HTC with the Rhyme.
The Medias X 06E packs a quad-core Qualcomm processor clocked at 1.7 Ghz, a 4.7-inch 720p OLED display, and a 13.1 megapixel camera. It comes in two colors, white and pink, and includes an attached light-up faux-jewel pendant.

LG ‘Optimus it’ headed for NTT Docomo in Japan with Android 4.2
720p display, 13MP rear camera, LTE and Android 4.2, though we may never see 'it' outside of Japan
Japanese carrier NTT Docomo has unleashed their annual summer lineup, and dropping nicely into it is this offering from LG, the unusually named Optimus it. But, while the name may amuse, the rest of the device is serious business, headlined by carrying Android 4.2.
While Android 4.2 may well be underneath, it looks very much like LG has gone right over the top of that with their own custom UI. Hardware wise we're looking at a 4.5-inch 1280×720 IPS display, a quad-core 1.7GHz processor, a 13MP rear camera and a 2100mAh battery. Pretty tasty, then. NTT Docomo customers can look forward to picking up the Optimus it at the end of June.
Sadly, if this one is anything like the Japanese version of the Optimus G Pro, there's a strong chance we'll never see this outside of Japan. Ever. Shame.

Galaxy S4 headed to NTT Docomo May 23, blue color confirmed
New color option for Japanese Galaxy S4
Japan's NTT Docomo will start selling the Samsung Galaxy S4 from next Thursday, May 23 — and as per the pre-announcement rumors, it'll be getting a "blue arctic" color option in addition to "white frost" and "black mist." The Docomo version will also support digital terrestrial TV broadcasts through a pull-out antenna, and FeliCa NFC payment capabilities.
Besides that (and some branding changes) it's pretty much the same old Galaxy S4 we've come to know over the past few weeks. In case you were wondering, Japan's getting the quad-core Snapdragon 600 version most other countries are selling, as opposed to the rarer "octa-core" Exynos version.
YouTuber mappan777 has posted a quick side-by-side comparison between the new blue version and the better-known black model, which we've embedded past the break. (Quick spoiler: you're going to have a hard time telling these two colors apart.)

Samsung Galaxy S 4 in ‘Blue Arctic’ color spotted in Japan
Until now we had only seen the Galaxy S 4 available in white frost and black mist, but Japanese provider DoCoMo will apparently have a new color variant available for their customers. Promotional materials by DoCoMo show a “Blue Arctic” version, shown above, expected to be announced on May 15 and available next month.
We knew Samsung would eventually release more colors for the phone as they did with the S3 — the question was just when. It will be interesting to see if and when the “Blue Arctic” version will arrive in other markets. The Galaxy S 4 Activ has been rumored to come in a metallic orange color - could that make its way to the regular S4 as well?
Come comment on this article: Samsung Galaxy S 4 in ‘Blue Arctic’ color spotted in Japan
‘Blue Arctic’ Samsung Galaxy S4 sighted in Japan
Docomo could carry dark blue variant of Samsung's new handset
So far the Samsung Galaxy S4 has only been available in "white frost" and "black mist" color options, but it seems a third option may be about to join them. Japanese blog Rbmen has spotted the new "blue arctic" color option on a promotional leaflet from Japanese carrier Docomo, and it looks a lot like the old "pebble blue" Galaxy S3.
There's no word on whether this color option might be offered outside of Japan, but Samsung has a history of offering its phones and tablets in all kinds of weird and wonderful colors, so we wouldn't be surprised to see a wider release at some point.
Aside from new color options, the spec sheet also mentions a couple of Japanese-specific features, like FeliCa support for use with electronic payment cards, and a retractable TV antenna.
Docomo reportedly has a presentation scheduled for May 15, so Japanese buyers shouldn't be too long to learn more about their Galaxy S4 variant.

Sharp rumored to start producing next-generation iPhone LCDs this June
Flush from that springtime financing boost from Samsung, Sharp‘s reportedly readying production on new screens for Apple’s next smartphone. According to Nikkan Kogyo, one of Japan’s business dailies, the display manufacturer will start production on LCD panels for the next iPhone in its Kameyama plant this June, although there’s no specifics about size and resolution differences since the iPhone 5. Company team-up Japan Display (which includes LG Display, Sony, Hitachi and Toshiba) has also allegedly received orders from Apple, with production already underway. With the combined might of all those screen-makers, we’re hoping it’ll sidestep any screen component delays.

LINE messenger has more than 150 million users, because we all love stickers
Four months since the Korean-Japanese messaging app broke through the 100 million user mark, LINE has added another 50 million — not bad for an app that only launched in June 2011. In another testament to people’s unabated love for stickers (or giant emoticons), LINE has launched in 11 languages and about 230 countries. New growth has apparently centered around the Middle East and Asia, with Taiwan, Japan and Thailand currently its most popular locales. The company is still looking to compete with incumbents like Whatsapp and Facebook in the US and Europe, however, with a little help from all those LINE-hosted games and apps.

Sony to release two flagship devices later this year, Honami and Togari
Sony has two flagship models slated for release later in 2013, and we’re finally hearing some details about the pair of devices. According to a device tester, the Togari device will sport a 6.44 inch, 1080p screen with a similar body style to the glass Xperia Z, as well as a white option, similar to the Z. The phablet could possibly be released in July in Japan, although there’s no word on when or if it would make it’s way to other markets.
The Honami is rumored to be a true Xperia Z successor, packing a 1080p 5-inch screen, dedicated Walkman audio chip, and a whopping 20 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens. According to the device tester, it’s one of the most attractive devices Sony has ever made, trumping both the Xperia Z and the iPhone 5. Obviously, that’s pretty subjective, but exciting nonetheless. It could also possibly hit shelves in July in Japan. Impressively enough, both devices are said to be water and dust resistant.
Chinese site ePrice says Honami will launch in July, then see an international release within two months. ePrice also says Honami will use the impressive Snapdragon 800 chip, have 2 GB of RAM, and an embedded battery. We won’t know anything for certain until Sony takes the veil off the devices, but these are definitely phones you should get excited about.

Amazon Appstore Prepares For A Global Push: Availability Coming To 195 Countries Including In-App Purchases [Update: Full List]
At the moment, the Amazon Appstore is available in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Japan. But that’s hardly enough for Amazon’s global ambitions. In a press release, the company announced plans to widen the Appstore to “nearly 200 countries” across North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. A specific timeframe was also absent, but prospective developers can manage their international distribution on the Mobile App Distribution Portal.
Important markets like India, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, South Africa, and South Korea were highlighted. With 195 countries in its marketplace, Amazon should be handily beating Google Play (currently sitting at 134 countries which can buy apps on the Play Store) even if it takes them the rest of the year to fully realize their goal.
