- No One-Seg* digital TV tuner
- No e-wallet function
- Weak camera
- Only one panel color available
- Display of cute emoticons, emoji, is difficult
- A lot of Japanese already own an iPod Touch (launched in October 2007)
- Japanese women with long fingernails will not buy it (and there are a lot of them)
- School kids use cell phones mainly for emails using one thumb, a dialpad and a jog dial (ideal for Japanese character input)
- Uncertainty of handset cost itself, accessories, data plans etc.
- Japan is the toughest cell phone market in the world (high level of technical sophistication, critical customers, high innovation rate etc.)
We shall see.
Meantime, AAPL seems poised for a correction of somewhere between 15 and 30%?
