Japanese "Hate" For the iPhone All a Big Mistake

MBCook writes "AppleInsider has posted a great article explaining that Wired's story about Japanese iPhone hate was completely false and has been edited at least twice. The comments in the article were recycled and taken out of context, with those interviewed blogging about the mistakes. The piece then goes on to analyze the iPhone's standing in Japan, as well as some of the major factors working for and against it. At last it points out that the Wall Street Journal tried the same myth of failure just after the phone's launch in Japan, recycled from a myth the year before, pushed by a research company with a possible anti-Apple agenda."

I'm glad to hear you are feeling better

and that you have set the people in Japan and Wired straight.

Keep up the good work Steve, and take care of yourself.

But Japanese construction workers build things very fast. If they can rebuild Tokyo after Godzilla destroys half of it by the time I put the next disc in; rebuilding a house should be easy.
