Mashable reports:
Since the release of the original iPhone in 2007, Apple’s smartphone has been on a steady climb upwards, taking huge chunks of the U.S. mobile phone market and giving even the BlackBerry a run for its money. The arrival of the iPhone 3G S and the $99 iPhone only bring Apple one step closer to market domination.
Abroad though, the story has been more difficult to decipher. In an April piece, Wired’s Brian Chen stated that the Japanese hated the iPhone, which sparked a big debate over the iPhone’s appeal (and the piece’s accuracy). Now though, a new survey paints a drastically different story: the iPhone is now the #1 and #2 best selling smartphone in Japan.
This was reported BEFORE the 3GS release, it will be interesting to see how the new iPhone affects these facts.
