Remember that Japanese-released carbon-fiber Sony Vaio T90? And remember their hit FeliCa NFC/contactless payment system they've been deploying all around Japan? Well, their updated T91 seems to think they're two great tastes that taste great together, since it rocks an integrated FeliCa reader right like that. (That's a shot of a SuiCa card and its running balance. Little broke, are we?) Of course, we can't really whine about not getting these stateside this time, you know, because we don't really use contactless payment systems yet here. But, er, pretty please anyway?
The T90 Carbon do not exist in Japan, SONY NEVER SOLD IT YET and they EVEN DO NOT KNOW if they will and when, just have a look on their web you will get a price but when you will try to order it will be written that it is impossible, call them and they will tell you that this product may NEVER be sold...
Things may Change but until last friday this was still the case.

We have *some* contactless payment systems - the DC Metro's SmartTrip thing, for a start. I wouldn't say no to more of them, of course.
