iPhone kawaii~ne!? Bakka gaijin (>_

Did anyone not know this on day one? When the featureset was announced most people shrugged and said "mediocre phone, nice screensize but too little storage for video." They released: A tv box that doesn't do anything. It's not a DVR the hardware is ancient. You can't even store movies on it... A phone with no target customer. The only large market for a smartphone is business customers. Apple has no idea what business customers want and they never have. A cute touchscreen interface thats useless on a phone. Apple and their fanbase are drunk off of their first and only success, the ipod. Their only product ever that sold enough to not be considered a niche. And now they're dancing naked thinking they can do it again. Do you think they can do it a second time? Their desperately want a second success but pretend they don't care while pissing their pants.

It's funny to think that Americans are being affected by what Asian country's think. The thing is that the iPhone is coming out in Asia in a year because they will have different features built into them for Asian consumers, whereas here they don't need all that stuff. Lets think about it we can still get on the internet, get directions, watch tv, we can do all of that on our phones and we will be able to do that on the iPhone, we do not have networks that enable to purchase items with our phones so it is rediculus to even compare us to Asian phones. In that you tube video above they show phones that are well over $800 It's just not comparable I don't know why CNN thought this was necessary. The iPhone will be a huge success. I even have one pre-ordered

I think you are taking liberties... Pass the crack pipe.

[...] I was reading on the internets, the techblog (link to the story and video) site in particular, how that in Japan, the iPhone really doesn’t measure up. I must say, I’m a tad jealous over what the Japanese cell phones can do. I’m a bit miffed that in comparison to their cell phones, ours just suck. The Japanese network is also a generation advanced than ours. Meaning, they can surf, watch tv, send realtime video and chat with ease. Here, that would cost you about $900 a month. They can even use their cell phones to pay for stuff! Like a debit card… that would rock… I’m trying to lighten my load when I go out and about, not having to carry a wallet, camera, ipod and cell phone would mean one less thing to carry, and it would also make my bum look better. Not like I have some weird growth protruding out of my left cheek. I bet it would make my jeans last longer too… my wallet has some snaps on it, and over the years, my jeans have developed a wallet shaped pocket on the left cheek, complete with snap imprints. Distressed jeans are all the rage, however. [...]

iPhone will not prevail. End of discussion
