The Future is here

This article about iPhone's very slow (almost negative!) adoption in Japan is really fascinating. Basically it says that the iPhone is eons behind all the other phones in Japan, it is clunky and has too few applications. This being the phone that is revered in (world-minus-Japan). Seems in Japan people replace their home PCs with phone/mobile devices and most phones feature really good cameras and get this, TV tuners. How cool is that!! Basically the fact that iPhone relies on a home computer to sync media and get updates completely misses the point.
The future is here, only in Japan :-) I wish I could click my heels three times and show up there...now! Really good article.
