"It's perhaps where the US was in the mid 1800s."
I cannot agree with this statement. Have you been to China?
I personally lived in China for 3~4 years, and it's definitely different from what you are imagining.
Cities like Shanghai, Beijing and almost every big cities in each province have what we have.
The bad news is that Microsoft already has a much better place to start with, even though many of the computers come with pirated version of Windows. (Not talking about big brands here)
I don't know if you have been to China, but Chinese Government trying to cut its people from the rest of the world is a story of long time ago.
They already have everything we have in America.
They sell DVDs of American movies when the movies are only in theaters in the US.
And they don't care if the rest of the world uses different format. They just have more options.
"but for only $100 you get 16G more storage"
$100 is a different story, not to mention iPod mini was priced at comparably cheap price. (Not the cheapest but pretty cheap)

Most of the information we are creating now is already electronic; therefore it's a lot easier and less time consuming.
