@eMJayy What, exactly, are the sales rates of netbooks overseas right now? What, exactly, are the sales of tablets in these same venues? Why do you think overseas venues will lag so far behind the US?
Yes, I agree we're the first purchasers of new technology--usually because we're the ones who created that technology in the first place. Japan frequently out-purchases any new technology that originated there and very rapidly adopts technologies that take sometimes 2 to 3 years to reach the states. Even in Japan, however, iPhones and iPads seem to be the single most popular smart devices/tablets on the market. This would seem to refute your argument.
