On marketing and Ipod in Japan

Japan has one of the most advanced (if not the most advanced) mobile-educated people of the world. Usually, mobile devices we see in use in Japan today, are spread around the globe after 1 or 2 year. I mean, they are in the front line when we talk about mobile technology usage. Even though, guys over there are forming lines to buy the new Iphone 2.0. What??? How can it be?? It doesn't even have a card slot expansion! No radio. Still no office (or whatever) docs editor. So, I don't see how, well-educated-on-mobile-devices Japanese people are keen on making clues to get the latest Iphone.
One explanation: power of Branding. Branding is everything nowadays. It is amazing how it plays with peoples' perception. A guy interviewed said it was there just because it was the iphone, the phone from apple, so it was cool, modern and unconventional.
Well, that sounds ok to me. After all, what matters today other than making statements?
If you are not able to make a statement about policy or free global market maybe you can make a statement about which mobile or notebook phone is cooler than all others.
By the way, I prefer Nokia.

Why not?

Just posting for the very first time. You can easily ask, why are you fucking opening a damn blog right now at 29? What are you looking for? Well maybe for self consciousness. Maybe just because I need to create a sincere and hopefully useful dialogue with you. This is about real things. Real posts. About life, real life. This is not bullshit. We gonna talk about pretty much about this topics:
Economics, finace, engineering (yep you got it right, engineering dude), GMAT, MBA-Insead, and relationships. Girls, I'm just addicted to them. I love them. I just love girls. I can say naively that this is my drug.
Who am I? Why Piemontese? Well Piemonte is the place (region) I come from. It is located in northwest Italy. I can garantee it is a unique place We have the best chocolate, the best wine, the best entrepeneur, the best cars, apples, grapefruits, and so many specialities we could write a blog only to talk about this. It is also a very rich region (in money) but very conformist. Is there any connection beteween this 2 characteristics.
This is all. (for now of course).
Next chapter. In the next few days. Why "outcasted"? This is going to be very funny.
Bye.
