Re: iPod & Other Digital Music Devices
And as usual it'll take a year or two before we see it in the United States. Reminds me of a time when I dated a girl from Hiroshima. She was going to the UH/Manoa doing the ESL thing and she needed a boombox for her dorm room. We went to Shirokiya (back in the mid 80's) because they had a decent selection of the latest Sony products.
When we got there she looked so disappointed. She told me this stuff is old and wanted to see the current electronics. I told her this is the cutting edge stuff here. Even the Sharper Image didn't have anything newer.
She ended up buying a unit that "sufficed". Later she showed me a Daie catalog from Japan and was floored at the COOLEST backlit stuff coming out of Nipponesia! OUT OF THIS WORLD STUFF and I had to have it. Oh man being a gadget freak and finding out the car stereos from Japan couldn't tune in the frequency increments in the United States just killed me.
