Softbank Corp. unveiled a winter-spring handset collection Thursday featuring a wider lineup of non-Apple smart phones, including models that allow three-dimensional images to be viewed without special glasses.
"It won't change the situation that the king of the smart phone is the iPhone," said Softbank President Masayoshi Son, reminding reporters in Tokyo that the Apple gadget commands about 80 percent of the smart phone market in Japan and that Softbank plans to continue marketing it aggressively.
"However, there are customers who want something other than the iPhone and iPad. Softbank will not skip our work to those customers," Son said.
