NEC Life Touch Android Device being demonstrated. It looks like an ebook. The other ebook makers like Sony, Amazon, and the B&N Nook should improve their ebooks to surf the net on their side. The manga looked pretty decent on the pad. They just have to start speeding it up and stuff with faster processors and ram and then these things will probably spread throughout Japan like wildfire and probably save a shitload of paper. I guess demand will dictate whether more Japanese companies jump onto the bandwagon and start creating iPad-like products and create cooler stuff.
Everyone’s personal tv, pc, internet browser, ebook, and game system in one portable device. The keys are obviously the speed and decent internet browsing functionality. So.. uh wouldn’t that be a PSP on steroids? Sony should get with it because they have all the pieces already.
Japanese company is researching and creating light data transmission technology where data and audio can be transmitted by light or LED’s. They believe incandescant and fluorescent light will be replaced by LEDs and all lighting infrastructure will become communication infrastructures. Quite awesome.

Walkman dock speaker called the “Sound Mug”. It’s basically a speaker shaped like a mug so you can easily carry it between your home and car along with your MP3 Walkman. It has a home docking station with remote or else can just be plugged into the car cigarette socket and player and sit in your cup holder. I don’t know why you would really need it for your car unless you had no auxiliary plug-in wire for your mp3 player. Anyhow portable speakers for those who want it.
