NEC teams up with Matsushita<br>on mobile phone development

NEC is also looking at doing the same together with Texas Instruments. "We agreed to consider deepening the collaboration," said NEC President Kaoru Yano. "Involving TI, we are now talking about the possibility of a three-company alliance", he added. But first the cooperation with Matsushita is in focus. "It is important to win first in Japan's handset market," said Yano.
