I don't really see what the big deal is with this. A bunch of people picked up a copy as soon as it was available. So what? It doesn't say much about the total number of Mac users in Japan.
I worked with one of the people who was working on the linux phones at Motorola. The potential these things have is amazing. He said that at one point, he was running a web server off of his phone. Of course, as has been pointed out, the ability to hack your own phone is often limited by the carrier.
