A recent survey showed that about 27% of Japanese are willing to purchase an iPhone from Apple. Everyone (who is not ignorant) knows that Japan is the land of hi-tech novelties and a lot more modern and gadgety if we were to compare to them, so 27% is a pretty good portion.
The smartphones currently in the Japanese market are really far more functional and have a better overall performance than those sold in the U.S. so 27% is definitely quite optimistic.
Should be mentioned that these 27% are divided into 5% as "very willing to buy" and the rest 22% as "possibly willing to buy".
The iPhone hit the Asian market in 2008 and the iPhone is not 3G friendly, which serves as a big drawback for the tech fellows in the land of the rising sun. However, what iPhone and other Apple products DO have is a very, very slick and sexy design, which will win not one million of hearts by the end of this year.
