Japan iPhone deal inked
Apple has landed yet another international distribution deal for the iPhone, reaching a deal that enables it to ship the device in Japan.

The deal does not mention exclusivity and Apple has already abandoned that strategy in a few markets, such as Australia and has signed deals with limited exclusivity in Spain.
