I'm in Saigon and I would disagree. I pull out my Nexus 7 and nobody gives a shit. I pull out my iPhone and people ask me if its the iPhone 5 (some weird racial correlation between white americans and Apple).
You do see iPhones everywhere though, but when they still cost a good 2-3 months salary for most of the people here, it can only be a signifier of wealth, afaic. I think people still view it as the "right" pair of jeans versus Android's kind of cheap impression.
But that's just my observation, I'm probably wrong.
Edit: Also, if you're in Saigon, we should grab a coffee or something. jon@interfacelab.com
- cageface 14y agoNormally I'm happy to meet up with other hackers here but you were such an extravagant douche to me earlier on HN and to other people here I think I'll pass, thanks.
