Finally..a rice-colored iPhone!
That wasn’t funny the first time.
I don’t know what the big deal is about lines many blocks long. This always happens, especially for Android introductions. No, …wait! Oh, never mind!
Wow that wobbly video made me seasick. It almost made me think they were videoing an earthquake aftershock.
That has to scare the daylights out of Apple’s competitors.
No lines required for buy one POS and get one or two more POS free, with Android POS also FREE.

You have to remember, that lining up is practically a sport in Japan.
Are they sure that was the line for the Apple Store and not the new BOGO sushi bar they opened next door to it.
Hey, how come nobody tried to cut in line? Oh, wait! This is in Japan, not the U.S.
i know what too shout out loud to make them clear the line…..but i dare not to say =)
What? Big breasted American women naked next door?
Nice name by the way.

That was one monster of a line. I must have been incredibly luck yesterday afternoon when I dropped by the Shibuya Apple Store at around 1:40 and walked out 18 minutes later with both a 16GB and a 32GB iPad 2 (I’m certain of the time because of the texts between my wife and me).
Very lucky indeed! Congratulations on your excellent timing and purchases. Enjoy!
it still amazes me to see the lines.
Too bad US stock analysts are too distracted by investments in Microsoft and Rim to notice.
Go AAPL!
