Bandai's latest handheld helps women "understand" men
For the longest time now, we were under the impression that it was men looking for miraculous ways of understanding woman. Clearly, we've had the whole thing backwards. Bandai has apparently polled thousands of opinionated males in order to fill its latest handheld with data that woman aged 20 to 30 will pay ¥2,499 ($28) to know. In all seriousness, we can't imagine this thing having a very good search mechanism, so its actual usefulness is definitely questionable. One thing's for sure, though -- handing one of these to your SO / ex-lover with a smirk is guaranteed to get a rise.

Gosh, Darren, I wish I could find a miraculous way to understand woman as well.
By the way, how is babby formed?
"Understanding is not neccesary - only obedience"
- Ambassador Kosh
Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience and rebellion that progress has been made.

@ LIke_A_Glove:
That is my favorite all time Wilde quote, I've had it as my e-mail sig forever. Glad to see someone else sees how true it was and still is.
Cultural bias bullshit.
@eggothewaffle:
they need to do way instain mother> who kill thier babbys. becuse these babby cant frigth back?
@ michas_pi
I don't know what the hell you wrote here... however, I do know it gave me a headache to read.
The Vorlon vs Shadow argument...
Ok, I'm a sci-fi geek!
Impossible, man. See, this is a woman to man translator. It needs 4 buttons. I imagine the buttons are sex, food, beer, and sleep - in that order.
The man to woman translator? It'd have to be multi-touch, gps-enabled, and able to detect relative humidity - and that's just to understand my musty grandma.
doesnt engadget have a crapgadget section for this stuff?
But this isn't a crapgadget...THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING EVAR.
for you
Well, the other way around is said to be much harder. This may actually be pretty simple to implement - kind of like the dog translator we saw a few years back :)
isn't this supposed to be the other way around?
that's what she said.
aaaaahahahhaahhah
This has the smell of a crapgadget.
Is this like how men watch p0rn to understand women?
vote the man up.
So what this device basicly does, is displaying lesbian porn?
i bet the thing just scrolls "show up naked and bring food"
Does your male state he is "horny"?
YES --> Shut him up.
NO --> Faulty sample, please return to seller for refund.
28 bucks for a device that says: give him beer, stop nagging, never invites you mother to the house?
would women even care with whatever answers displayed on the screen?
won't the mirror distract them?
YOU sir, understand women.
You don't "understand" the opposite sex. Women are more emotional, men are more sex-hungry, and if you are a woman who isn't emo and a man who isn't horny 24/7, then congrats, you can probably understand each other.
Er...this thing is probably just ten of those Cosmo 'What Men Really Want' issues (or the Japanese equivalent) stuck together. You know, the ones where they rope in a bunch of (straight) men to answer a gigantic pile of inane questions, mostly about sex.
Wait, am I the only one in the Cosmo / Engadget crossover market?
Probably Adam ;)
Gee, I always thought men were trying to figure women out. Now we know why the birth and marriage rates are so low in Japan. If this were sold here, it might strike a few nerves.
Psh... You could write a book on understanding men, and it would be eleven pages long and have pictures.
So this machine is going to show randomly flash naked pictures of women getting bukkaked on, video games, Knight Rider, and bowls of ramen?
In a related story, "IBM develops new multi-petaFLOP RoadRunner supercomputer in order to help men understand women".
No need for this thing. Men are only interested in two things; food and sex. If you see he doesn't have a hard on then you fix him a sandwich.
God, Games, Love & Lunch (and someone to share those things with). End of line.
Finally! The perfect way to break-up with women! Hand them one of these!
It would be much cheaper to just point them to these comments for all they need no know. Of course, then the human race would die out.
HAHAHA This is cute. I think I need one. :]
I guarantee you that women will buy these in droves....this will be more popular than the IPhone...women love this kind fluff!
