When I read this I gasped… Ok, not really, but I was a little bit shocked.
In a survey of internet users in Japan from age 20 to 49, it found that 91% of the 402 responses indicated no plans of buying the 3G iPhone. The survey was conducted June 5th and 6th of this year.
I wouldn’t take these numbers too seriously however. You have to take into consideration that the survey was taken well before the WWDC keynote which revealed pricing points of the iPhone 3G. At the price point it is sitting at… One would have to think it would have changed a few minds…. Not to mention all of the features that were announced at the keynote…
I’d like to see the survey taken again to see what effect the keynote announcements had on Japanese consumers!
In Japan, Softbank Mobile Corporation will carry the iPhone 3G. Only 22.9% of the people surveyed were on that carrier. Should be interesting to see how much they gain (or lose) once the iPhone 3G is available in the country.
