Android’s Droid browser may be the world’s most popular mobile browser, thanks to the phenomenal rise of the Google-owned operating system, but it has a just got a very worthy competitor in Japan’s growing smartphone market after Yahoo Japan released a rival Android browser. The Yahoo! Browser has been launched by Yahoo Japan, as announced on its blog [in Japanese] — via Asiajin – and it certainly has potential to steal market share from Droid, and thus Android-based revenue from Google… http://thenextweb.com/asia/2012/05/04/googles-mobile-revenue-under-threat-in-japan-as-yahoo-japan-launches-an-android-browser/

For a company that ostensibly competes directly with Google, Yahoo! is curiously invested in Android – in Japan, at any rate. After launching their own pseudo-app store last year, the web search company has created a custom browser app for the Japanese market. The company hopes to keep on top of the search game in Japan, where unlike most other territories it’s actually beating its search rival Google. http://androidcommunity.com/yahoo-japan-launches-its-own-android-browser-20120504/

It looks like Yahoo’s rivalry with Google just got a little more heated thanks to Yahoo Japan launching a browser of their own on Google’s Android platform. Yup, it seems that the company (a collaboration between Japan’s Softbank and Yahoo) have created a custom browser app designed for the Japanese market in mind, possibly in the hopes that it will continue to give Google a run for its money at least as far as the Japanese market is concerned. The design of the browser itself while nothing to shout about appears to have taken some design cues from Opera Mini and Opera Mobile, which we guess given that both browsers are pretty decent, it’s not a bad thing…
