Obligatory anecdotal confirmation:
I recently went to a neighboorhood meetup (オフ会) near my home in Kobe. At some point I got out my iPhone to look at the time. Someone said "oh, you have an iPhone?" At which point fully HALF of the other attendees pulled out theirs and began discussing.
Yes, sampling bias and all that, but it's still a bit surprising. One guy who didn't have one expressed his loyalty to an opposing carrier that doesn't have the iPhone.
Still haven't seen an iPad here, but it hasn't been very long.
- donw 16y agoI'm in Tokyo, and the news here is full of the amazing new world ushered in by the iPad, and I know it sold out the first day; people camped out for two days in front of the Apple Store in Ginza to get one, and the lines were huge I'll let you know if Ginza/Shibuya is an iPad-fest this weekend.
