one tablet device to be released from July 2011.
Releases for EMOBILE G4 include the Pocket WiFi (GP02), the fastest
model in the Pocket WiFi series, with 42 Mbps download speed1, and the
GD01 data card which is equipped with a USB rotator that allows for
both vertical and horizontal rotation without the need for a USB cable.
These devices are aimed at users who use high speed links with several
devices, such as smartphones and tablet computers, fulfilling the
needs of higher speed models.
The two smartphone models to be released are S42HW, the first ten-key
straight body model for an AndroidTM equipped smartphone in Japan2,
and the Pocket WiFi S II (S41HW), the smallest smartphone in Japan3,
with a larger LED screen. S41HW is an evolution of the popular EMOBILE

models come equipped with an one-touch tethering function which allows
