Re: No big surprise

Actually, all of the Japanese cellular providers use different technologies that do not work together at all, just like all of the American companies. All of the providers all trying to get more market share, and NTT DoCoMo has the greatest market share right now. None of the providers phones work with one another. Even China has better cellular phones in the larger cities! In America, all of the providers are talking about transitioning to a 2.5G system, while they already have it in China. In terms of personal electronic devices, America is far behind. Lets face it, even if those devices were available in the US today, we wouldn't keep on upgrading to the latest technology, even if it was cheap. As long as the demand isn't there, we won't be seeing any improvements.

actually I think the demand is pretty much there, especially with the new generation of .com kids like me. personally I upgrade my cell phone once every 6 months or so. Usually something will come along that is just well...NEAT and I want it If the technology was available and not extraordinarily expensive I think it would be huge if introduced in america. sadly I doubt we'll be seeing anything like that for the next 50 years. On another note is all japanese consumer technology that far advanced of american?? If it is I would seriously consider japan as one of my living choices in the next ten years.
