Japanese "hate" for iPhone all a big mistake

While I agree that it is reasonable to be skeptical of an article defending Apple from Apple Insider, a good comment would include criticism of the article itself rather than your strictly ad hom attack.

Well that's just it, I don't know anymore than that. I don't know who to believe on this story.

The japanese journalist misquoted in the wired article twitters quite a bit in both japanese and english, and even has an english blog.

He was pretty upset when the article hit, and posted an email to Chen on his blog: http://blog.nobi.cc/2009/02/my-view-of-how-iphone-is-doing-i...

He also twittered about the situation quite a bit, including some back and forth with Chen: http://twitter.com/nobi?page=5

Seems like you didn't read the article. It's full of very specific facts and quotations. Sure it could all be fabricated, but that seems very unlikely given the lengths it goes to pick apart the original article.

I can only quote from my own limited experience... But I was in Tokyo recently and I noticed the iPhone was quite popular. Anecdotal naturally. But I was surprised when I read the wired article.
