    Perhaps it should have read "A Fortune magazine editor traveled to Japan on a company junket had a bunch of fun and then realized he needed to deliver a trip report to his superiors. The 'gadgets from the future' report was quickly developed on the flight home from the Sky Mall catalog and includes this years technologies of an ultra-portable Sony VAIO UX90P, ZPN/Kenwood MIURO iPod dock, Mikimoto Beans iTheatre personal iPod theater, Sharp Vodafone 905SH mobile phone with 2.6" screen for watching videos, Nintendo Wii controller, Hitachi WOOO Blu-ray digital camcorder and a new range of motivational posters. Luckily, his bosses had been too busy playing golf on the company dollar to notice that everything had already been announced or realized, they also found the motivational posters very enlightening and bought several for their employees breakrooms."
