iPhone 3G Japan

Youtube iPhone 3G Launch

Dannychoo, Akihabara news and many other news site have cover stories on iPhone launch in Japan I made comment on DannyChoo’s site on the launch and whether iPhone can win.

“Recemtly Got a Sony G900 for cheap after trade in at Singapore but still I want an iPhone so I can develope some games on it. Apple knows product design very well that it can appeal to a wide variety of audiences, unlike Microsoft. I believe they will succeed in Japan and Asia on their terms. Will it take over current competitors this year i don’t think so but who know in the future.”
