“Apple released the iPhone 3GS in Japan on Friday. More than 200 people lined up at Softbank Mobile Corp.’s Omotesando store in Tokyo to snap up the gadget that offers speedier functions. iPhone 3GS is expected to do good in Japan as the new updates promise to use the newly found speeds well.
Apple might claim that, however Japan never took to the iPhone. They hated the 2G, 3G and likely they hate this one also. In Japan there are better touch phones than 3GS and their technology is far superior. Japan had TouchScreen phones almost 10 years ago. USA is behind when it comes to technology, not because lack of innovations, just because the manufacturers want to cash in on every ethnological advancement. For example the technology for 3D LCD display exists, but we're not going to see it until they get done making money by pushing OELD down our throats.
