When is Teckstud ever on topic. Or ever contribute anything constructive. Now that reports are debunking the Japanese hate for Apple products, people like Teckstud have to manufacture other nonsense to complain about.

If I have to educate you that segregated stores based on gender, race, or whatever is not a good thing anywhere, anyhow- than forget it.
I was responding to the poster's link to the Apple Japanese Woman's store.

So sorry- it's a non Apple issue- you wouln't understand.
I am not surprised. Japanese contemporary design is minimalist and elegant. Often times Japanese design is also very funky, fun and alternative. Ever since the Bondi iMac Apple's designs have been a natural fit.
How exactly is it condescending? Their are many women only stores. Nike for women, Footlocker for women. In many stores the women's section is most of the store while the men's section is upstairs or way in the back.
Apple having a women section may cater to Japanese culture. You are attempting to take American cultural norms and apply them to the Japanese.

Teckstud - I accept your right to be contrary, reactionary, narrow minded, anti just about everything Apple, etc etc, but do you have to be a broken record? Can you not participate in these forums by stating your views and leave it at that? Retort by all means but do you have to act like a spoilt child? Over the last few days a very large percentage of all the posts are yours and it just gets repetitive and tedious. There are many other posters that share your views but most of them know when to shut up. Not because they have been beat, but because they have said their piece.

I bet you they loved the old "toilet seat" iBook back in the day with it's funky colors. Ah - the good old days of truly innovative design when Apple wasn't making Macs to look like PCs.

I'm over this. You're not getting it with your ridiculous analogies.

What are you talking about? I haven't repeated one thing here!
The What Japan Thinks blogger credited the iPhone's rapid rise in rank among devices over the past few quarters to a decision by Apple's SoftBank mobile partner to push Apple to localize the iPhone for the Japanese market by adding support for emoji over the next year. In a press release last October, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son stated, ?Email without emoticons can?t be email in Japan. We persuaded Apple Computer (to localize iPhones for the Japanese market).?
A report on the announcement said Apple would "add an emoticon function to iPhones within the year through an update program." Apple added emoji support for Japanese users in the iPhone 2.2 firmware update.

WHo are you to lecture anyone, man? Get over it.
Don't understand what the reason is to get so upset about all this. Are you just trying to get your comments count up? Although I don't comment regularly, I do read most AI posts and many comments. Sorry to say yours stand out as angry, irrelevant and subjective. What's up with just disagreeing with everything?
Wrong again. The site is Called "What Japan Thinks," the survey is particular to young women.
PS - I thought you were banned for the meltdown you had the day before yesterday where you made all those personal attacks? No?
Obviously you're the one who's wrong again.
Again you don't read- I was responding to someone who asked why I cared what young Japanese men think. I'm curious to know what all of Japan thinks of Apple- I don't discriminate.
And if I was too passionate about the loss of the numberpad from the included iMac keyboard and you couldn't handle it- too bad. Your problem- not mine. Many aren't happy with that decision.

You're making a much bigger deal out of it than is merited.
This isn't segregation in the sense that men can't shop there or there are stores where women can't shop.

The emoji emoticons work in the US with a free app called "spell number".
Sounds like a marriage made in heaven.
Do we really care about this? I suppose Apple does.

AI hits an all time low with this thread.
Gee- I wonder how Apple ranks with Zibabweans?
Did AI dump you for a new boyfriend?
I thought the Japanese thought iphones were garbage?
You thought wrong.
Great to see that Apple is more concerned about the greeening of the environment than the continuing suppression of women in other societies.
What the hell are you talking about?

It's technically an easter egg. I don't know if the app is worth the icon space or even the initial download, with or without this enabling feature.
It's not going to stay that way either, Apple is asking all developers to remove all emoji enabling features in their apps.

Why are they doing that? Emoji are great. Fortunately, I live in Japan so I will continue to be able to use them.
What if you turn on the Japanese keyboard in prefs?
