I Think I'm Turning Japanese
I'll admit that PDAs don't really interest me but if it's free, I can use it to get on the Internet, call people and find my way around Japan during my stay... I'll try it out!
According to an IHT article, in February and March, hand-held computers will be given to select tourists to use during their stay.
"The PDAs also have complete Internet access and can be used as a mobile phone within Japan. On top of all that, the gadgets have built-in voice translation software and can receive e-mail updates of sightseeing information.

E-mailed applications from potential candidates are due by March 18. To qualify, you must be coming to Japan on a Japan Airlines or All Nippon Airways flight from London, Washington, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Honolulu or Vancouver. More information is at www.narita-airport.or.jp/e-navi."
