Why the Japanese Hate the iPhone | Gadget Lab from Wired.com
Besides cultural opposition, Japanese citizens possess high, complex standards when it comes to cellphones. The country is famous for being ahead of its time when it comes to technology, and the iPhone just doesn't cut it. For example, Japanese handset users are extremely into video and photos — and the iPhone has neither a video camera nor multimedia text messaging. And a highlight feature many in Japan enjoy on their handset is a TV tuner, according to Kuittinen.

silly story... nokia commissioned some research that found that 53% of working americans have been interrupted whilst in the bathroom (american version).
