wow guys check the OP.
This is some wicked spin, and it's hard to notice.
Here in America, we have a smart phone market.
There is no smart phone market in japan. Japanese phones that do all their crazy stuff are not called smart phones.
The "smart phone" market was invented by the people selling American smart phones in Japan, most likely Blackberries, Iphones, Droids etc.
The OP says they've only sold 2.3M iphones in a population of 127M people. Does that sound like 72% of the market? FYI Japanese consumers buy 30M cell phones a year.
Japanese phones have also carried digital tv since 2005 and email since 1999. Smart phone? What a joke.
