Too bad Japan isn't on this list. Apple products are overpriced here going strictly by exchange rates.

I am moving back to Japan next month so it's fantastic to have a deal like this. Still, let's not kid ourselves regarding the iPhone in Japan, please. If people actually want to trick themselves into believing the iPhone's relative lack of succe…

Apple's set up a very comfortable position for mobile gaming -- in the U.S. (and probably other western countries), that is. Japan's had a healthy mobile gaming market for years. It's not unified like the App Store, but Nintendo released the Game Bo…

Quote: Nintendo recently touted NPD Group data noting that it sold a near-record 1.56 million DS handhelds during November, but is likely to be outpaced by Apple's iPhone sales alone: in summer, the company sold 6.9 million iPhones I don't mean …

I can't believe the debates going on here. It can take a relatively long time to be assisted at the Apple Store in downtown S.F. for both disabled and non-disabled people. This isn't simply a matter of asking for help; you have to wade through th…

It's also important to note that this store is in San Francisco, one of the most tolerant places in the country, not just in terms of sexual orientation, religion or lifestyle, but in terms of disabilities. These women are probably used to be well t…

Having been to the store many times, even for non-disabled people, it's a challenge getting around due to the sheer crowdedness of the place, and I've always had to fish for an Apple Store employee to help me after as long as 10 minutes of waiting a…

Apple needs to adapt to market conditions in Japan because the entire country certainly isn't going to change for Apple. Western products succeeding in Japan isn't unheard of or impossible. Half of Louis Vuitton sales are from Japan/Japanese con…
