That's a valid point but I don't think the answer is as simple as that. About 2 months ago HN had a submission about why Japan didn't invent the iPad (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1197702 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1197702). To me many of the points made in that post (totally different innovation cultures) sound like a better explanation.

  Apple, at least, seems to play up the iPad as an American device pretty heavily--- lots of "Designed by Apple in California" on packaging. Of course, there are marketing reasons for that.
