I guess that when you have all of the greatest toys in the known universe, you don’t need an iPhone.  According to a recent survey, 91% of Japanese people won’t be buying an iPhone.
What does that mean for Apple and Steve Jobs?  My guess is absolutely nothing.  Heck, even if 9% of the Japanese did […]
