Another area that japan is ahead
When I visited japan a few months ago, I was already expecting to see lots of tiny, fully featured cell phones (my college roommate had spent a semester there and told me all about them). What surprised me was that almost all the TVs there were either HDTV sets, plasma displays, or LCDs. They probably laugh at our sony trinitrons.
Funny thing is, most of the programs are still 4:3 based and all the characters on 16:9 looks.. fat LOL. BTW, gas-plasma is still very expensive in Japan, too. i don't think it's a purely consumer product yet.
