A little electrogadget popular in Japan? I am shocked.
These don't compare with the DA Jesus built for me.

Oh I'm sorry, you'll have to come back in two weeks if you want bloody revolting.
If tits were wings it'd be flying around.
Because I don't have enough people watching me download pr0n...

In my day you had to carry flash powder, a powder holder, a torch, and a 50lb. piece of luggage to get a 1.4" black and white picture... AND WEEE LIKED IT!!!!!!!!!

Business \Busi"ness\, n.;
A scam in which all people involved perceive as beneficial...
Now that Sony has slipped to #2 in so many markets, this product only serves to illustrate why.
$600.00? plus tax, buddie...cough it up. You want those $300.00 worth of accessories, too, right?
Wow..this thing is so trik! Watch this Newt!! Ok, I'll just remove my CF storage card and insert my CF wireless lan card and...wait...all my photos are on the CF storage card...oh man!!!!
(If you want hard figures, according to the SDF's page, the budget for military spending for this year was 4,926,500,000,000 yen, which at the current exchange rate is 41,852,858,368 US dollars - not exactly peanuts.)
holy cow, that means each of the soldiers in the 1000 person national guard gets paid $40 million each! say $1 million for equipment and support, and they are some pretty well paid soldiers!
now *thats* a defense force I'd like to be part of!
For some guys, this is as close as they will ever get.
And...there was this one enterprising guy that used to buy panties off the local high school girls, and then package them, sealed fresh, along with a signed Polaroid.
He'd put twenty or so 'packages' inside one of those little coin machines where you use the crane-claw to try to grab things, like toy cars or stuffed animals, etc. Arcade parlors...what an experience...DDR and Whack-a-mole and shrink-wrapped gifts from the other side. Caffeine chewing gum and 142 decibels of the GiriGiri Girls around the clock.
The neighborhood moms got upset over all the disappearing underwear, and how the family clothing budgets were being torn to shreds. They formed a militia and found him out and complained to the police.
The police were sympathetic, but they could find no law that was being broken, so they couldn't drag him in...until, they got smart, and charged him with selling antiques without a license. If you've tried to market swords in Japan, you know this is a big no-no.
Book 'im, Dano-san!!!
I can hardly wait..That means I can watch a crappy resolution Divx on a screen the size of a matchbook for $600. While the techno geek in me drools to look at new hardware...This isn't going to find its way into my repetiore. I hope to see memory stick pro keep advancing but this seems like a product destined to flop anywhere BUT Japan, where they will BUY ANY electronic Gadget :)
errr....umm...*whooosh* *whoosh* Is this thing on ?
Screw that. Everyone knows that emacs is the only reasonable choice for PDAs. I'm still waiting to see a PDA with emacs as the operating system.
hmmm.
