Hiroki is probably using a Palm device (Clié?) with a Japanese OS. I  
know I am.

One big beef I have with Sony is that they drove out the Palm OS  
Device competitors with the Clié, only to discontinue it. Not it  
seems that Palm devices are doomed here in Japan, because the regular  
Palm OS does not support Japanese text. I need to replace my old  
Clié, but I would rather not do it with another used Clié.
