We already expected Apple to post an iPhone guided tour on their Japanese website, but what we didn't anticipate (but should have) was the demonstration of the new character-recognition feature built in to the iPhone 2.0 OS firmware. Having already gone “gold,” the new iPhone 2.0 OS will bring character recognition to countries with demographics less in line with “Apple Bob” and more like the decidedly more Asian-looking chap we see in this video.
Hit up the guided video for a Japanese take on the iPhone. Highlights are the echoing voice-over and the hybrid touch and keyboard character input mechanics - truly trick, and worth a look.
