New Personal Payment Methods May Change The World Economic Rules

This kind of products will make a new tech/business trend, I think. Currently we don’t have any tools to pay small amount of money each other except cash inside your pockets.

What kind of dream you can imagine with this brilliant concept?

Didn’t know but Jack Dorsey joined as co-founder. Sounds cool.

Wnat an iPhone dock without paying $30? OK, I found a brilliant idea here.

I like to find these DIY tips but this iPhone dock is the best. Here are alternatives.

I already have the original Apple dock for my office but I’ll try this paper one for my home.

Just installed the Google mobile app for my iPhone and tried a voice searching feature. Voice searching itself is not a surprising feature but when it works with iPhone, some big paradigm change may happen.

Watch a video from Google.

GPS, phone etc… The app have possibilities.

Amazing iPhone App

Found an amazing iPhone app via Digg.

Apple’s iPhone-App-Approval Mouse Falls Off Treadmill: Buy The $1000 App That Does Nothing (AAPL)

Behold: “I Am Rich,” a $999.99 app from Armin Heinrich, which just displays a red gem on the phone’s screen — nothing else.

lol… Is he genius?!

See comments on digg here.

iPhone released in Japan

Finally, iPhone released here in Japan. However I can’t buy it today, I’m in Yodobashi Camera Umeda now

Just came here to see the release event of the iPhone. Here is a video of the historical countdown with Dante Carver well known as "Yosou GUY" on TV commercials of SoftBank and a VP guy. Maybe he is a VP of SoftBank Mobile I think but not sure.

You can see a gap between US and Japan over the audience. Only a MC and some staff of the Yodobashi Camera are shouting. But don’t worry, all of us are excited.

There’re no more numbered ticket to get it here but I already reserved one at another place.

Hey, if you’re in Japan especially around Osaka, you should watch TV news tonight and find a guy wearing an orange shirt and a black sunglasses. It’s me!
