The question and answer session done at the venue is as follows.

· Free Kamio:
1.Although "IS 01" where product design was done as the second demand, how much is the market size?
2."IS01" is said to be committed to UI, but in the case of Xperia, Sony was developing UI, but what kind of sharing was this time? Is there any horizontal deployment on other smartphones?
3.How will you appeal to sales channels, au shops and so on? How to create a support system?

· Au:
1.difficult. Because it is the second one, I do not consider it to be such an explosive market. There is performance enough to be used as just the first one. I would like to expand sales even there.
2.UI is made by Ocean Observation Inc. I am sticking to the comfort of using it. I think there is still room for improvement. I think there is horizontal deployment, but also want to take care of the manufacturer's own deployment.
3.As for sale, I think that the au shop is a model that the au shop was longing for as leading to the next IS series.

· Free Nishida:
1.How do you plan to support application market division and development?
2.01 is Android, 02 is Windows Mobile. How will you divide your life from now?
3.What do you think about dividing user segments and sales routes with mobile phones?

· Au:
1.The application market is not necessarily zero sum. I want to make it possible to collaborate in a good meaning so that it can seamlessly come and go. We also have support for support, and we also support content makers. Make it available for both markets and do not close it.
2.As for the OS, we will introduce things that fit the application. I would like to think mainly about Android as the main terminal. I do not intend to make it very limited. Currently Android is mainstream so I want to center it.
3.Regular distribution with regular lineup. Expectations for such devices are increasing, but there are still more ordinary terminals as actual numbers. I will gradually expand the IS series, but I would like to look at market trends. To be able to do a variety of things, some customers who do not know what to do should come out. I want to put out a terminal that meets the needs.

· The middle of Nikkei communication:
1.How much is the terminal price?
2.How will you catch up when the version of the OS goes up?
3.Because it is open, will not it be possible for other carriers and overseas to do the same service?

· Au:
1.It will not be high so high. I would like to propose at a price that is easy to deliver.
2.It is not trying to carry Japanese-like functions such as 1seg and felica. I will prepare the minimum, but I want to develop it at a speed that does not hinder catch-up.
3.I think that it is possible to develop applications overseas. As Android has increased in market share, there should be many people who are interested if the billing system is in place. I also want people of content providers to expect.

By the way, although it is a monthly fee which is worrisome, according to the following press release it is said that the charge plan and discount service of the conventional au mobile phone can be used, packet communication such as "Plan E simple" or "double fixed price super light" When using flat rate service,The maximum amount of domestic packet communication charges when using "IS series" alone is 5985 yenIt seems to be. Also, in order to connect the Internet with the same smartphone alone, it is necessary to apply for "IS NET" of 315 yen per month.
