1 in 5 Japanese mobile users switching to iPhone?

iPhone 3G to launch worldwide on July 11

The iPhone 3G is going to be big, big, big, and not just in the US.

Take a look at Japan. World's "most advanced" mobile phone market and all that, right? Well, it appears a survey of almost 8000 mobile users there indicates some intense iPhone fever: half of all users at least considering buying one, and one in five either definitely planning to do so, or having already ordered!

A further look at the data points to some big defections from Japan's carriers who aren't selling the iPhone. You can't expect reality to turn out just like a survey, but this race will still be fascinating to watch.

Things people say

One of the greatest myths about Macs today is that they cost way more than their PC equivalents, when a direct spec-to-spec comparison between the two often proves that is not the case. But the myth persists because that was exactly the situation in the 1990s when Apple churned out a succession of indifferent computers that costs hundreds, if not thousands, more than their competitors.
