As for competition for the Sony Glasstron, well, there are lower-priced options in the Japanese market and it might be informative for the more exploratory among us to keep an eye on the products over there.

Interestingly enough, they use non-Japanese models in their tech product ads. Now, if it were colored black instead of silver, then it would look like a pair of cool opaque sunglasses. Not!
That is in Japanese, but if you hover over the URLs, the English portions of the URL will often giveaway what the link is for. They seem to be trying hard, as there is even an "idea" webpage listing applications (all in Japanese alas).
