Wanted to get these Japanese limited edition Hiroshi Fujiwara Nike SFB shoes so had to go thru Yahoo Auctions Japan.  Was skeptical at first but in the end it went pretty smoothly.  Just need to transfer money via my Alipay account and they me informed each step of the way.  10% of winning bid commission plus small handling fees are reasonable since there is no other option.

For all those people that say Android is bigger than the iPhone now, they are reading the stats wrongly.  They may have sold more in the first  quarter of 2010, but its total market share is still a lot less.

I'm guessing there is seasonality to iPhone sales too since they do update it every june. (Did you expect iPhone sales to increase after a iPhone HD gets leaked?)
