In Japan, the iPhone will Sell Out on Day 1
Why do Steve Jobs and Masayoshi Son look so happy in this picture? Maybe it's because they're happy about Apple and Softbank's partnership on the iPhone's imminent Japan launch. Or maybe they're sneering at you because the coveted gadget, which we now know will retail at 23,040 yen, or $214, is going to be sold out within hours of its release nationwide on July 11. (The 16-gig version will be 34,000 yen, or $316.)
Son, founder of Softbank, made this announcement at a press conference a few hours ago at the Tokyo International Forum in Yurakucho.

Any idea what the Japanese text input will be like? Will it be like a normal keitai's num pad, or a PC keyboard?
