Recently, Asus and NTT Docomo of Japan has started negotiating on a possible cooperative agreement that will see the Asus Eee PC netbooks getting bundled with NTT Docomo’s various Internet data plan. Asus is currently getting around 85% of its product sales from the Japanese market and the company is aiming to get 70% of the Japanese consumer market for its Eee PCs, while leaving the remaining 30% to other mainstream notebooks. Hence, Asus is targeting to ship more volumes of the Eee PCs to the Japanese market sometime in the Q4.

The Eee PC 901 and Eee PC 4G-X currently occupies the first and second spot in terms of volume sales of PCs with prices ranging below $946.52. Combining the two machines total sales gives Asus a 70.5% of total PC sales in the country so far.

Meanwhile, Acer’s Aspire One only accounted for 9% and MSI got 8% share of the PC market sales. Lagging behind these four netbooks is HP’s Mini-Note.
