Why don't you rename this blog IPUAW for iphone since that's all you guys ever post anymore... isn't there more to mac news than iPhones???

Re: totoro

I think the Mobile Suica/Felica argument that keeps popping up is bogus. In my experience, hardly anyone in Tokyo uses that feature. The iPhone should do fine without it, mostly because the web browsing experience is light years ahead of any Japanese mobile phone.

And for those outside Tokyo, Japan tends to have this super high-tech image. You would not believe the pathetic level of computer literacy here, and the incredible inefficiencies (I think purposeful to keep superfluous employees on the payroll and off the streets) at name brand companies. Yeah, Japanese electronics makers are clever at coming up with new features, but the diffusion of technology here is poor, even in Tokyo. Actually, you wouldn't believe the number of new models that come out several times a year for everything that are domestic-only (i.e. not exported).

While I like to hold and read print media, there's nothing that I can find in a magazine that I haven't been able to read online two weeks earlier.

So no magazines for me anymore.

What? And kill a tree? internet is good enough.

I sooooooooooo tired of iPhone news. Thinking about buying a magazine just made me throw up in my mouth.

Most of the publication in the picture are "Mooks" (Japanese term for describing something that is in between "Magazine" and "Book") and are not regular publication, but rather one time special issue consisting of product description and how-toes. Others are just startup guides (people here love guide books and supplemental manuals). One of them (the one with cute girl on the cover) is actually published by Softbank Publishing, which obviously is relate to Softbank, the exclusive carrier here. We do have regular Mac publications (2 that has general coverage and few more that are specific to design related topics) which has iPhone coverage (duh), but there isn't a iPhone specific regular publication so far as I know.

"Ma-ga-zine"? Oh, is that one of those things where someone basically prints out several pages of a topical blog -- but with larger ads -- and tries to convince people to *pay* for it?

Seeing as I'm increasingly tired of all the iPod/iPhone/MobileMe coverage on the Apple sites as it is, there is no option pejorative enough on your poll.

I know it's relatively stable and quiet in the world of the Macintosh, but enough already about the freakin' app store!
