<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/' target='_blank'>http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/</a><br /><br /></div>One of my very favorite 'Net blogs is Akihabara News -- Daimaou and company have been working very hard the last few years in bringing us the latest and greatest news from all over Japan, with a heavy emphasis on mobile and lifestyle devices. My biggest nit was that the site was predominantly French -- there were some English translations, but they were sporadic, and I never learned French in high school.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/parekh-20050310-AkihabaraNews.jpg" /><br /><br />Anyway, they've now launched an all-English site, complete with an all-English feed. If you've been tempted to check out the site but held off because of the language barrier, you don't have to any more. :D And if you've never heard of the site but are interested in gadgets, I strongly suggest you check it out (as long as you're prepared to cry a little over what we <i>don't</i> get here. ;))

Amen,
I've done a few news posts from them for DMT and it was always a few extra steps over a regular post to do one from them because you could not copy/paste a quote from the page since the english translation was just a pop-up bubble. I started just copying directly out of the html to get around this, but still an extra step.
