On: Apple's iPhone commands 46% of Japanese smartphone market

You've gotta be right. Anecdotal evidence (watching people on the train most days for the last year) suggests that pretty much nobody has an iphone here, despite it being very heavily promoted. Everybody's heard of them; I get comments on mine all the time. "iPhone? いい、ね！" (how great!) But I continue to be surprised whenever I see another person using one.

hmm, where are you based? in tokyo it seems like i see at least one person using it on every car.

I'm in Kobe. Maybe that's the consequence of living out in the (relative) sticks.
