In Japan, Cellphones Have Become Too Complex to Use

Japan has long been famous for its advanced cellphones with sci-fi features like location tracking, mobile credit card payment and live TV. These handsets have been the envy of consumers in the United States, where cell technology has trailed an estimated five years or more. But while many phones would do Captain Kirk proud, most of the features are hard to use or not used at all.

stupid article. japanese cell phones are not too complicated to use for japanese people, hell, wired magazine (the publisher of the story) regularly publishes a section in the print edition called 'japanese school girl watch' which monthly highlights how jp schoolgirls use advanced tech. stupid article. and yes, I know the writer of the story is japanese. but if you follow her work on video she comes off like sarah jessica parker from sex and the city, hand her an iphone and she's likely to go, "ewww, I can't use that thing." stupid article.
