One of the news shows yesterday here in Japan talked about the coming of the iPhones. It was a bit ambivalent -- they talked with a few people who are really looking forward to the iPhone, but they also had a list of five services, such as wanseg (one seg? the ability to watch TV shows) that are typical cell phone services in Japan but apparently are NOT available on the iphone.
( Highlights )
It really is interesting, but my impression from the news coverage was that the iPhone is going to have to work harder to crack the Japanese markets. There is already an existing high level of cell phone service and expectations, and the inconsistencies with those services are not going to be acceptable.
