Sharp recently announced that they will roll out Android-based handsets as early as the first half of next year. Sharp commands the biggest market share of all eight cell phone makers in Japan so this is very good news for the Android. The company didn’t reveal which of the three big carriers in Japan will be supplied with the Android handsets, or the number of different devices they plan to release, but said they will offer models with features unique to the Japanese market. Speculations are flying around that this might include
- a tuner for 1seg, a digital TV standard used in Japan
- Japan-specific e-wallet
- electronic train ticket functions
- etc…

That rss feature on your website here is impressive, you should tell more folks about it in your upcoming post. I haven’t noted it a first, now I’m using it every morning to check on any updates. I’m on a real slow dial-up connection in Australia and it’s quite frustrating to sit there and wait for such a long time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and there you are… I’m always up-to-date! Well buddy, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
