Recently conducted poll by Mitsubishi Research Institute and Rakuten Research Inc. suggests that 27.6% of the mobile users in Japan are willing to buy Apple’s flagship handset. One would think that all their high-tech gizmos fill-in the demand of the Japan’s modern man/woman, but apparently some of them crave for that iPhone coolness Apple is pushing on us.
Anyway, according to the poll’s results, 5.2% of some 2,200 respondents said they were “very willing,” while 22.4% said they were “somewhat willing” to buy an iPhone. Of those saying they are willing to buy the iPhone, 11.8% said they would use the iPhone even if they have to switch mobile phone service providers.
See, Apple can do miracles – to make Japan’s savvy consumers jump into the iPhone craze.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
