I forgot to mention how full of crap I thought that Brian Chen article was the first time around I read it two years ago (of course, he's billed as an "analyst", so your BS filter should be firmly in place before reading). If you read the editor's note at the bottom, added a year after the article was published, you'll see that they basically say the original article's speculations were wrong. Having had Japanese feature phones for six years and an iPhone since it was released here, I can tell you that the article was BS from the get-go. There was about a six-month gap between me purchasing one and six of my friends getting on board, too. Working at a high school, I'd say that between 40%~50% of my students now carry one, too.
