"e-mail capabilities in 1999, camera phones in 2000, third-generation networks in 2001, full music downloads in 2002, electronic payments in 2004 and digital TV in 2005." (NY TIMES)
WOW! I always knew japan was ahead of the technology industry, but really? Why is it that the most powerful and wealthy country in the world can't even be compatable with the best cell phones available? Japan's cell phone industry is struggling. Not because people don't want to buy the cell phones, but because the only place where the technology is far enough to work is in Japan. Really? USA can't upgrade their networks so we can finally get some nice phones over here the USA.
"Many Japanese rely on their phones, not a PC, for Internet access." (NY TIMES)
