iPod Takes Japan by Storm

conq writes "BusinessWeek reports on the soaring popularity of the iPod in Japan. From the article: 'iPod mania is alive and well in Japan -- one of the most competitive consumer-electronics markets on the planet. Despite an array of well-entrenched Japanese rivals, such as Sony and Matsushita, the iPod had cornered 51.3% of the digital-music player market as of the end of 2005, up from about 32% in 2004, according to research firm BCN. Sony was a distant second with 16.2%, while Panasonic grabbed just 8.2% of the market.'"

    Great, I can't wait to see what stuff these crazy gookers come up with to do with their IPods...upskirt videos, bukkake, selling used panties from vending machines, what will they come up with next? I guarantee there will be some depraved IPod kinky fetish in the not so distant future, and for that I say: yes, you crazy Japanese, I salute you! (and please post pics)
