DoCoMo: Japan Gets All The Cool Toys

"This is where the line begins to blur between televisions and cellphones. This device from DoCoMo is full of features, everything from digital broadcasts to old school analog TV. I mean, look at that antenna, how can you not love it?... Don’t expect it here. Ever."
Japan truly does get all the cool toys. While this isn't exactly a Pocket PC, it is an example of why I get so steamed over the US Marketplace. Manufacturers would never take the chance on something like this here - they want reliably selling same-old-same-old. I guess their target market for electronics doesn't really care much about digital cash or interesting concepts - but then again, you can't expect all that much from teenagers. I just wish those teenagers weren't dictating what technology I could easily purchase... :roll:
