This is how it works in Japan. I think it's great because when people call you, they hurry up as THEY get the bill.
This is how it should be: If people REALLY want to talk to you, they should pay the price, not you..!
With the current issues involving telemarketers and cell phone users, this is also a great idea to get rid of telemarketers. You can have a fun chat with them while thinking about their phone bill is going up...
This service started a few years ago when I was in Japan. Like everyone, I got skeptic and said to myself "huh?". But if you think about it, it makes so much sense.
How many times you guys went shopping for your wife and got the wrong product? Wouldn't it be simple to take a snap shot and send it to her cell phone? You'd get a confirmation right away. Think convenience...
What if you get in a confrontation, accident, etc and want to take a quick picture? Hey this might enable police to find your killer if you get a chance to take a snapshot... Think security...
You can think of many usefull things. Don't think of this as a high quality digital camera. You will never get this product for another 2-3 years (if not longer!). Think of it as a "digital post-it"...
I never had the chance to use it while in Japan but some of my friends did and I can confirm it *IS* useful... (unlike some of you might think). No wonder why technology is far beyond Europe and Asia, every new product brings so much critisism from US buyers! Be open and accept it as cool, and not as "crap"...
I bought my Zaurus at BestBuy for 299$ It is backed by a decent company and I know they will be there in 2 years to support me (at leat I hope so!).
Not that I want to say bad things about this company but for the same type of product, they should have a bigger discount.
Beside, is it me or is it running on the same GUI? (QT). It looks like they OEM'd sharp's w/o a keyboard.

I just bought one. It's awesome... I heard it's called a "PC"
I have yet to see that. There is S-video and RCA, but what about Component out?
