Ok, lets talk about the Japanese tech world for a second. The tech world in Japan is very different from that in the US. All the little techy things that we swoon over in the US are everyday devices in Japan. For example lets look at Cell phones:
The iPhone made waves in the US being one of the first Phones to intergrate the use of full Email service and complete web browsing software into a phone in a User friendly and stream line manner. In Japan who cares? Japan has phones that, while they may not have complete touch screen phones that eclipse the iPhone, have enough features to not make the hugely expensive data plan worth it. To illustrate this point I bought the Cheapest model phone I could without sacrificing my desire to have something cool and my phone has full email, web browser, Media player, and fully functional (not a mobile modification) TV.
Hell even my crappy prepaid phone that I had for a month or so had full Email and Web browsing.
I'll just throw this out there. US public transit needs to start taking notes.
I'll continue this on a later date but let me say for now that I could go on and on.
