It looks like Japan will soon get into the Android party, thanks to Sharp. As of a couple days ago, Sharp announced in Tokyo that they will release a number of Android handsets in Japan in the first half of 2010. The number of handsets is not yet known, but Sharp’s commitment to Android in Japan is a big deal — they hold the largest market share for handsets in Japan and Japan is considered the most advanced mobile market on the planet.
