this is another example of how the rest of the world ignores the japanese
mobile Internet. the article incorrectly states that 4 million smart
phones were sold in 2002 and 12 million will be sold in 2003 when in
Japan, about 40 million phones were sold in 2002 and in 2003 and most of
them can be defined as smart phones. Further, more than 100 firms had
created systems that enable their employees to access corporate data from
their phones as of April 2003 such that more than 100,000 of their
employees such as sales and maintenance workers use their phones to access
this corporate data.
