Japanese Say iPhone Not New

When Apple sent out the newest product in its line, the iPhone, many people were amazed at the features that the mobile phone had. In fact, who would ever have imagined that in just one gadget, you would be getting two great deals – a mobile phone and an iPod.
But it does look like most of the Japanese were not amazed. In fact, these people have claimed that such an idea as the iPhone is already old news for them. Tomoaki Kurita, a mobile phone shop owner, even does wonder at the kind of excitement people in the West have given to the iPhone.
This, perhaps, is because Japanese have been continuously bombarded with mobile phones that offer various features for owners so whatever the iPhone has got to offer is not that intriguing anymore. Japanese-created mobile phones offer owners features like GPS navigation, buying plane tickets, purchasing movie tickets, updating your blog, download music, send SMS, make phone calls, and surf the Internet. Even more than what the iPhone has got to offer.
