Okay, I'm past the typical otaku excitement that Apple will release the 3G iPhone in Japan. I plan on buying two (one for me and the Mrs.) next month to compliment my other geeky Mac toys but it seems that Apple will have to really gambaru if it plans to kick the cell phone mafia, NTT DoCoMo, in the oshiri. If Steve Jobs keeps his word, the 3G iPhone should sell for about 20,000 Yen in J-land.A few years ago, I sold my idea for a keitai English site that I had sat on since 3G technology was not available for Japan's keitais. The keitai site went up with various gaijin and it seemed like it went down with various gaijin. Saturated market? Bad timing? Other? Well, since I am no longer involved in the project, I really do not know. What I do know is that Apple's new 3G iPhone has slapped me upside the ol' afro and got my creative juices to flowing again in regards to using the keitai as an educational/instructional tool.At any rate, check out what Business Week has to say regarding Apple's iPhone entry into Japan.
