Softbank Mobile Corp. of Japan announces that it will efficiently cut the price of iPhone 3G to as low as 0 yen as part of its scheme of discounted service rates and special sales campaigns as a counter to alleged poor sales from now till the end of May. It is really great news for the Japanese; the price of an iPhone can’t get much lower than this. Though, iPhone is not so much popular in there.

Now, the demand of iPhone in Japan and elsewhere has tailed off and it is being seen as just too costly. The situation hasn’t been helped by the current financial condition in Japan. The hefty and comparatively large iPhone is no longer selling in large amount like previous. Therefore, the 8GB model is to be given away for free to clients signing up to a two-year contract.

New subscribers who sign up for a two-year agreement will get an 8-gigabyte iPhone 3G for free as an alternative of the usual Y23, 040 via discounted service rates. And the 16GB model can be gotten for Y11, 520.

You can now watch television with your iPhone using Mayamkama.com’s television application, in additional you can watch different news program on more then 30 channels, including NBC, CNN, the Associated Press and Cnet, besides several other foreign news services. However, at the side of the news service you can also watch videos from MTV, Onion, VH1 and College Humor TV.

The first thing of this television application is, it’s not “live”. This application requires Wi-Fi connection as it does not function on 3G network. This might sound bit limited because another television application OrbLive runs live on both Wi-Fi and 3G network. But the major problem with the OrbLive is it mainly depends on the network speed. That means, if the network is weak then you will have slow speed on your television and if you are surround with good network coverage then you will have the high speed access.

The interface of the application is very easy. You can scroll up and down the list of the channels, simply tap your desired channel and the list of the programs will appear. Again tap the program you desire and the application will automatically launch the video.

This application does not host any videos but it will transmit you to other sites where the videos are available. Their also a context named Video-on-Demand. In this context you will be provided with the list of the programs that recently have been uploaded. However, the main problem of this application is, some channel works better but some channel works really bad.
