Really? I think that says more about what different markets will bear than the quality or usability of a device. Buggy software and battery issues would not go over well in the U.S. market. Americans would demand their money back (being occassionaly verbally abusively) and threaten to sue even if they only paid $50 for it! People would start trashing it on YouTube and there would be sensational stories about people being snookered on the local broadcast news.
I can't imagine it would go over well in Europe either. And for that matter why does it in China? And what about other markets?
