I lived in Japan for a year. The reports about how advanced the Japanese mobile phone situation are a bit overblown. The most popular service was still i-Mode, which is old, proprietary and severely limited. It is kind of like if "Prodigy" ran on mobile phones.
According to wikipedia:
Even i-mode's creator, Takeshi Natsuno, has stated "I believe the iPhone is closer to the mobile phone of the future, compared with the latest Japanese mobile phones."
- mattmaroon 18y agoInteresting. All of my knowledge of Japanese patterns comes from mobile sites and articles I read, so admittedly it all has a filter and could be somewhat inaccurate.
