Brando's Solar Mini Clip Fan ruins your shot at picking up friends {Engadget}
Jul 26th 2008 9:44AM Stuff like this has been around for at least 20 years or so. I saw other kids wearing this kind of stuff while in primary school!
Looked like this: http://www.sunpower-solar.de/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/3037a99274d7f74e3ed16733f0725690.jpg

Softbank to sell (UMTS 3G) iPhone in Japan {Engadget}
Jun 4th 2008 4:11AM Softbank's bad reception is what got me an AU mobile, but they since have improved drastically in the Kyushu area and even set up a transmitter at my university, so now there's better reception for Softbank than for AU. I got a Softbank phone this January and since then most of the people I know here have switched to Softbank, because it's so cheap.
I'm looking forward to see what Softbank is going to do about data plans... if they somehow manage to introduce some kind of cheap tsukaihoudai for data I'll be all sold.
Willcom shows off 1seg-equipped Willcom 03 smartphone {Engadget}
May 26th 2008 5:59PM Too bad no one uses Willcom here in Japan. I only know about one person who's got a Willcome phone as a second mobile and she can only use it at university in certain rooms, where small PHS transmitters are installed.

This looks really sexy. I might stop by an au shop tomorrow to see when it will be available and how much it will cost as an upgrade from my W51S.
