Zune HD is from an North American company which just solidifies my point...

Recently I was in Japan and China and the phones they use there are just fantastic compared to the slow turtles we get from here... And what do we hear about this fantastic thingies?! Nothing!! If one reads just North American news it seems that the world is dominated by iPhonies and Crackberries... That is how the media over there was, is and will always be.

Heck, even motorola showing the cliq made to the headlines in NY Times...

But try searching for the N900. Just a shared story with all the announcements of NW.

Now try cnet, engadget (yes, cos people still go there for their gadget news), gizmodo. The amount of info from North American companies compared to the other ones is just laughable.

I guess its all part of that "buy american"/"freedom fries"/etc way of thinking... or, I am paranoid!!!!!!!
