Just saw this press release, the deal also general stores and mobile electronics stores is unknown, or equal大人SHIKU SoftBank shop, you should try to contact directly.

CNET Japan, according to a report of the main store in Yurakucho BIKKUKAMERA "iPhone 3G launch countdown ceremony" and to hold it, seems to be sold in electronics stores. The strategy also aims to列BU so many places it is available Ali.

The end of the maintenance of the Apple store, iPhone sales for the "Notice at a later date," but he is, "iPhone 3G will be sold at Softbank shop. IPhone 3G in handling, please contact the shop." was changed. WWDC and can put it back just after the conventions.

For sale at major electronics stores and is not described, only the link to the search page shops Softbank Mobile. Again, Apple Store Sales does without, SoftBank is the only shop in the market. If you want to get on, I think it a good try to contact the Softbank shop nearby.

the eve of the launch of the iPhone, I entered the store maintenance? (14:15 today). Get this show on the eve of the announcement of the new products are well known. Recently, iPhone 3G, I see this as just before the announcement.

Mac mini and Mac Book the new products may be related to the timing of the announcement of the iPhone could handle the Apple Store, but also hope that, http://www.apple.com/jp/ iphone / buy / and so it leads directly to, or different. MobileMe appeared! ?.

July 11, iPhone 3G will be available for the plan includes 20 countries, ars technica and that once the site.

In this, the iPhone yet the country has not been released by the plans of nine countries so, Softbank announced it was how fast it is. Also, have the unlimited data, SoftBank, including only five. In the West because the calls are frequent, and have a free talk time for most carriers, instead, SMS is almost unlimited but is not.

Softbank plans to "inability to compare" is the force applied,

8GB: $ 215, 16GB: $ 323, Plan: $ 68, Minutes: unlimited under certain conditions, SMS: Unlimited, Data: Unlimited, Contract (not surrender period): No; However, early termination pay the balance of their terminal-minute discounts

Next, you'll see that it is quite hard. In particular, SMS and data communications that are both unrestricted, SoftBank only. In Japan, the iPhone's appeal, but it also enjoy cheaper prices without restraint in the world. Too bad!

Is published in the middle of last week, Apple's hot news was published last night "iPhone Video Guide", and would look at iPhone 3G video I want to feel dangerous. In particular, the description of 18 minutes and 42 seconds starting with the Japanese input, I'm just excited to see. "Enter and cross Frick predicted conversion", as energy-saving way to enter the Japanese, I think close to the ultimate idea. You get used to it, so I can type quite fast, Multi-Touch with Mac you want to be able to use it. In the sense that you simply enter the high-speed, shift thumb (Nicolas array) do not think I have nothing, from entering the Roman alphabet? Early.

The iPhone has been localized Video Guide is just like the Japanese. More iPhone 3G will be available in the country, just like the man in the English version by Kato tea, WWDC is the keynote of the link. Was created only because the Japanese version, may have also been emphasizing that the Japan market, the Japanese special If anything, such as Japanese input iPhone also spend a significant localized you probably would have.

Apple's old "localized" is not simply to translate the notation, is known to have a policy to change to suit the culture of the country, and this video guide, localized for Japan is rather imperfect, there were areas of concern seems to feel a little lukewarm.

25 minutes starting from 35 per second, "GPS-map", and explore the current position,見REMASU how fast you can find a shop near the yakitori. Stick a pin and animated pieces are fun, the English version is described,上RIMASEN to talk about the route of the search from the current location to destination. In Japan, the route features in some circumstances may not be available.

27 minutes starting around 42 seconds, "the weather and stock prices," the explanation that you can easily check their stocks, the current iPod touch display like the American Yahoo! Do not you think. iPod touch, but the problem is now, iPhone to launch in Japan until they were optimistic that would be localized, Japan apparently Yahoo! may not see a financial reason.

The products of incomplete remains localized, but I think a little RASHIKUNAI Apple, iPhone, unlike the case of a typical mobile phone in Japan, we may be able to deal with software updates. In particular route is convenient, we expect to improve in the future.
