TOKYO announced today that it is joining Open Handset Alliance, an industry alliance of mobile industry leaders to solve mobile platform fragmentation and escalating software development cost that have slowed innovation in the mobile industry. The Alliance will be delivering an open mobile platform (Android) which will benefit mobile users with easy and open access to a wide variety of innovative services which so far have been limited to mostly the desktop.
