Almost 90% of cellphones sold in Japan are cameraphones

We just wrote last week about the news that sales of cellphones were down for the second month in a row in Japan, and now Japan Today (the source of that original story, too) is reporting that sales of cellphones for the fiscal year ending on March 31st were actually up 22.3% over the year before (of course, these aren't necessarily contradictory statistics). Anyway, what's actually interesting about all this is that the research study they quote says that 89.3% of all handsets sold there are cameraphones. It won't be too long before it's the same thing here.
