    The Japanese version has everything and the kitchen sink. Let's hope they have at least half the functionality in the US Linux version.

    Check out the main page (Japanese)
    Here's a page with the wireless modem and camera
    And mpeg4 video playback (with add-on encoder is very cool too)!

  2. No Data Support???WTF??? by cronik · · Score: 1 · on Tiny, Secure Music/Data CDs Due in the Fall
    Sorry, incorect. There has been a data drive for MD's for over 5 years now. Not to mention the Still and Video Cameras.

  3. I love Keitai by ueyama_rui · · Score: 1 · on Visual Showcase Of Japanese Mobiles
    I am Japanese and live in tokyo. This year, I bought 2 keitais.

    The newest keitai I bought is J-Phone J-SH04. This keitai has lens and can email JPEG images! I also have very lightweight (only 69g) DoCoMo P502i.

  4. Why the hell is this news? by greggman · · Score: 1 · on Mobile Videophone

    This stuff has been out in Japan for over a year. Is this an anti-asian bias? If it's not from Europe it must not exist? Here's the current big push in Japan. This one has been out since last year 12/1999. And for those that don't want to buy a new phone they have things like this.

  5. Not such a new idea by Creepy1 · · Score: 1 · on CD-R In A Digital Camera: The Ueber-Mavica?

    Check out this site for some specs on a digital camera which uses minidiscs to store your photos.

    For fans of the minidisc such as myself seems like a much better idea. Minidiscs are smaller, have protective cases built right in and are proven portable recordable technology.

    Too bad all the good minidisc stuff is only available in Japan.

  7. MiniDisc myths. by Joseph+Vigneau · · Score: 1 · on Sony building a digital walkman
    MiniDisc really isn't as 'propietary' as other technologies: there are at least two independant implmenetations of the ARTAC, from Sony and Sharp. I also own a Sharp MiniDisc recorder (the 722) with excellent sound quality, 40 second skip protection, yada yada.. However, you can get your hands on a previous generation 702 for about $210 now...

    Take a look at minidisc.org and Minidicso for see some prices...

  8. I've got one that *records*! by Joseph+Vigneau · · Score: 1 · on MP3 Adapter for Regular Stereo Equipment

    My MP3 recorder weighs about 8 ounces, is a bit smaller than four stacked 3.5" floppies, and can go about 16 hours between recharges, or about 10 if I'm recording... Storage for each additional 75 minutes of software is less than $3. I could have got this model for about US$220, but I wanted the latest and greatest, so I paid a bit more.

    My device: a Sharp 722 MiniDisc recorder. (The $220 model is the recently discounted Sharp 702).. Or you can go Sony if you like...

    MD recordings make MP3s sound like crap.. But you can still record them, nonetheless...
