Hughgarse... How did you get one? Just pop in a store and they had 'em??? I went to Roppongi yesterday, nothing. Then to a local store east of Tokyo and nothing. I'm in no big hurry but I still want one. Is there a secret I don't know about???

Smithinjapan... Thanks for finally mentioning the whole xenophobic point about selling anything in Japan. Had Sony developed the same exact thing we would never hear the end of how superior Japan is, but the truth is, that aside from Toyota, no company in Japan has the cajones to truly take…

amannin1... Verizon has never been in Japan and though I'm a PC user I would never consider Apple to have developed "fads or novelties." The iPod is still kicking everyone's butt and they've taken the iPod concept to the phone and they've revolutionized another industry.

This man harrassed and threatened to KILL her and the prosecutors only asked for 18 months. Then the ridiculous judge has the nerve to say that it's "absolutely ridiculous" for him to have a relationship, but SUSPENDS the sentence. That'll learn 'em...

ZenBuilder... No. No. I gotcha. I just like to keep my comments on Japan because this is where I live and the JT moderator will usually tell us to keep our comments on topic and not allow comments comparing Japan to other countries. I know it's equally as bad in…

It wasn't an arranged marriage, the two probably genuinely love each other.

To piggy back on "mindovermatter" and "wanderlust" I have read that she declined his proposals SIX times before "agreeing" to marry him. The man seems like a perfectly kind man, but this woman obviously knew early on…
