We know that Softbank, not DoCoMo or KDDI, the number and two carrier in Japan, will release the iPhone to the Japanese. But few have realized the implication of this. An online study conducted by iSHARE illustrates what exactly this means: iPhone will not be a big sell in Japan. Only 9% of people between 20 and 49 says they will buy an iPhone. Now, unless Japanese teens have money for a smartphone and the older Japanese population gets interested with multi-touch and the virtual keyboard, the iPhone is destined for semi-anonymity there. Unless Apple decides to put in a 1-SEG tuner. Even in Japan, the iPhone screen resolution is quite advanced, if nothing else meets Japanese requirements.
