Vertu to sell 4 golden cell phones in Japan (price: $215,000 each)
Posted on March 26, 2010 | No Comments
Nokia pulled out of Japan, one of the world's biggest mobile markets, as early as November 2008. But because this country is quite wealthy, the Finnish company decided to conquer Japan with their luxury brand Vertu [JP], starting operations in September 2009. Initially the plan was to market handsets priced between $16,000 and $50,000.
But today Vertu Japan announced a "golden" handset with a price tag of 20 million yen (it's made-in-Japan gold lacquerwork, to be more exact). That's $215,000, with the price including free domestic calls. Buyers will be able to choose between four equally priced models: Kinko (pictured above), Kikusui, Nanten and Daigo (pictured below). The different designs stand for the different seasons of the year.

Nintendo 3DS: New details leak in Japan
Posted on March 24, 2010 | No Comments
Nintendo's announcement of its new portable 3D gamimg device 3DS was very brief, prompting us to speculate about possible features and implications for the way people will play games in the future. But today the Nikkei, Japan's Wall Street Journal, is offering a bit more insight (and the Nikkei is usually a very reliable source).

The Field Guide To Modern 3D Glasses
Posted on March 10, 2010 | No Comments
You might want to take a different approach when shopping for a 3D TV than a standard HDTV. Instead of just looking at the picture quality, you should also take a serious look at the brand's 3D glasses. Some show some clear advantages to purchase that brand's 3D TV and until there's a standard format for 3D glasses, each brand requires its own unique glasses, thereby locking you into that manufacturer's products. Yeah, it's a bit messy right now. Click through for details on all of them.

You can’t buy Japanese music on iTunes you say?

The reasons why are boring and complicated, but just know that our friends at J-List have a work around for anyone who really really wants every anime soundtrack ever.

XLR-to-USB cable brings you one step closer to music stardom
Posted on January 25, 2010 | No Comments
You’ve been working on your music career for 13 years now. Take things to the next level by purchasing a higher-quality microphone. You know, one with an XLR input. Ask any touring musician about microphones. They’ll all be like, “Dude. XLR all the way. You have to spend more than $5 on a microphone if you want to get a record deal. That’s how they keep the riff-raff out of the music business.”

Feeling lonely? Bizarre Japanese CD lets 600 different girls say “I love you” to you
Posted on December 3, 2009 | No Comments
Does anybody remember the DVD I blogged that was supposed to cure shyness in geeks by letting them look at 50 different girls over a time span of 96 minutes? The girls would just sit there, not saying or doing anything. The idea was to make you get used to looking at pretty girls on the TV to overcome your shyness in real life.
That was last year. And now we have the Hougen CD [JP], which is more or less trying to do the same thing - but this time not with video but audio. In my view this CD, a real product you can buy, is even dumber than aforementioned DVD: What you get is a CD on which 600 different Japanese girls say "Daisuki!" or "Meccha Daisukiyanen!", which means "I love you!" in Japanese.

In the same month, Nintendo promised their free channel will be made available to Non-Japanese Wii owners next year, at the same time announcing they'll start offering paid content (in Japan) very soon. And since the weekend, we have that fee-based streaming video service [JP] over here.

Video: Kohjinsha dual-display netbook
Posted on October 29, 2009 | No CommentsI actually like this idea. Kohjinsha recently showed off its dual-display 10-inch netbook, which runs Windows 7 atop an AMD Athlon NeoMV-40 CPU at 1.6GHz. The machine can be used as a netbook with a standard 10-inch display (it’s a swivel, screen) or a second 10-inch display can be slid out from behind the first [...] -
Toshiba Dynario fuel-cell: the battery revolution begins October 29th
Posted on October 22, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Accessories
var digg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Dynario_fuel_cell_the_battery_revolution_has_begun'; We can hardly believe it but the day has finally arrived: Toshiba just launched the first Dynario fuel-cell for portable consumer electronics. That's right, the long promised and highly anticipated direct methane fuel-cell (DMFC) with dedicated fuel cartridge for on-the-go refueling will go on sale October 29th in Japan for ¥29,800 (about $328) plus another ¥3,150 (about $34) for a set of five, 50ml fuel cartridges. Dynario takes about 20 seconds to fill its 14ml fuel tank with an injection of a concentrated methanol solution at which point it's ready to charge USB-connected devices. Dynario's hybrid structure uses a lithium-ion battery to store enough electricity to charge two typical cellphones, according to Tosh. The first run consists of only 3,000 units after which Toshiba will gauge consumer reaction before extending the launch outside of Japan. Boy oh boy, a new age in portability has begun.
