UKNM: Japanese technology

[Jonathan Peterson]

I've just come back from Japan and I'm in a state of shock at how much more

advanced their technology is.


It's not so much the actual tech, where only mobile phones seem massively

more advanced, but the market place - far more competing products, much more

even distribution of marketshare, far more interesting devices and more

niche devices. And a very low profile for US/EU devices. I was particularly

impressed at the low impact of Palm and WinCE machines, and the large number

of other homegrown handheld devices.


I'm also continually amazed at the inability of western products to handle

non-western character sets with any degree of sense, but that's another

issue.
