In Japan, iPhone over BlackBerry?
According to survey conductor iShare, Japanese respondents generally would prefer to keep any mobile computing for business separate from that for personal use.
According to a recent survey, the Japanese hate the BlackBerry and love the iPhone. This Nikkei Business Publications chart reveals one possible reason: smartphones aren't generally used for business there.
iShare, which conducted the survey, also asked respondents if they "feel that the number of people carrying two mobile terminals will increase as a result of the expansion of the smartphone market."
Roughly 30 percent of all respondents said "Yes," while more than 10 percent said, "No, it will decrease" as consumers look to use one device for all of their mobile-computing needs.
As for reasons why people would carry two mobile devices, 49.6 percent said "to separate business and private use."
