The portable TV can be taken to the bath thanks to its IPX7 and IPX6 waterproof rating, enabling it to withstand water depths up to 3.3 feet for up to 30 minutes. While in the bath or elsewhere, users can view content from its built-in 1Seg TV tuner or about 10 hours of content recorded on... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/09/02/sony.4.inch.bravia.lcd/ Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/15/japanese.iphone.success/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0808/iphone3g-softbanklaunch.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The new-found popularity of the iPhone in Japan is as much a failure of local industry as it is an advancement by Apple, a former NTT DoCoMo executive claims. Tsuyoshi Natsuno, who lead the carrier's i-mode division, describes the Japanese cellular industry as having fallen into a "collegial system," where phones are designed explicitly according to specifications outlined by carriers. The phone... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/08/15/japanese.iphone.success/ Fri, 15 Aug 2008 13:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/14/japan.iphone.demand.spikes/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0807/iphone3g-softbanklaunch.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Japanese interest in the iPhone 3G surged to where more than one in seven Japanese phone customers has been considering an iPhone, according to a survey published today by iSHARE and conducted at the end of June. The researchers note that while a pre-announcement study showed just 8.9 percent of buyers considering an iPhone, that number has since climbed to 14.5 percent, a jump of about 63 percen... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/07/14/japan.iphone.demand.spikes/ Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/18/japan.iphone.3g.study/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0806/iphone3g-japan.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Despite the relative success of the iPod in Japan, the iPhone 3G isn't likely to get an immediate footing in the country, according to a new iSHARE study. Of the Japanese adults polled, 91 percent say they have no plans to buy the device when it becomes available on July 11th. Of the remaining nine percent, nearly all (8.9 percent of the total) said they planned to purchase the device.

The phone will be paired up with dominant carrier NTT DoCoMo and will primarily be sold from Prada's own stores rather than cellular or electronics shops. Few details of the local phone are available, though the hand... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/05/01/lg.prada.in.japan/ Thu, 01 May 2008 19:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/06/sony.portable.bravia.tvs/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/sonybraviad500.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Taking its Bravia TV line to handhelds, Sony this morning introduced two explicitly portable TV sets. Both the D500 with its 3-inch screen and the more pocketable, 2-inch G200 are built to catch Japan's 1Seg over-the-air digital TV format; they also support the standard's electronic programming guide, letting viewers take a quick glance at the schedule regardless of where they begin watching.

Version 3.80 will be the first to allow tuning Internet radio and should support live streams in the same formats as the player can handle offline, including MP3-based Shoutcast streams.
