Here's a question: Any chance in Hades of ever getting NLK and Japanese
entry methods with even the limited support of a basic English
translation outside of Japan again? I realize the support logistics are
nightmarish to do it right for the rest of the world, but I've just
gotten the second request from someone for PDA recommendations that can
handle Japanese, and I've only been able to say "Well, wait until you
get to Osaka again, and buy one there" instead of being able to say "Go
get a Newton 2100 from ebay or someplace, and send Y20,000 to this place
and you'll get a CD with the stuff to make your Newton handle Japanese,
and you can use it everywhere then."
