I can always count on you!<BR/><BR/>Thanks also for encouraging the kids to participate in the chats, for their English. I also think it's good practice, as well as pleasant to touch base with faraway friends.

I'm usually fortunate enough to play with them all the time and here's what I think of it:<BR/><BR/>It's definitely a neat piece of equipment. If you're looking for something that you can impress your friends with, then iPhone is, without a doubt, THE gadget that you want. Especially the zooming and scrolling functions you can perform with your thumb and index finger... That's really sweet.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, since it's phone/camera/mp3 player all put together in one, there are many limitations. First, the storage space isn't as large as the regular iPod, so if you're a song collector who likes to have all of your songs in your iPod, then iPhone won't do you any good. Second, camera, from my experience, isn't as good of a quality as the regular digital cameras out there, so you'll probably end up not using it. Third, even though iPhone has somewhat of a big screen that you can watch movies on, let's face it, it's still too darn small for movies! Lastly, the keypads are also touch screen, which makes it kind of hard to press the right keys when punching in phone numbers.<BR/><BR/>So my conclusion is this: iPhones are made for (excellent) showing, but it's still a phone, not a camera or mp3 player. And they often get stolen in the U.S.<BR/><BR/>I hope this helps!Ji Wonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08099913544944434485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32179523.post-37071135910531257792008-07-19T03:05:00.000+09:002008-07-19T03:05:00.000+09:00Obachang~!<BR/><BR/>Last week, my brother and his girlfriend woke up at 5am(!!!) to line up and buy the iPhone.<BR/><BR/>The iPhone is very very nice, but it's a much bigger jump in technology here in the States than in is in Japan. I say this because here in the U.S., people only really used cell phones to call/send text messages. In Japan it was more normal to do things like surf the Internet on your cell phone.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure about the situation in Japan, but in the U.S. you must buy an unlimited data plan with your iPhone, so each month is about US$150 for the cell phone bill. (I can't believe my brother is paying so much!!)<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if you've already decided to buy it, but it is a lot of fun (and very usable!) As long as you use it a lot, I'm sure you'll get your money's worth :D<BR/><BR/>(Sorry for the long comment!!)Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32179523.post-34445222974218271162008-07-05T12:27:00.000+09:002008-07-05T12:27:00.000+09:00Not only do I not have an iPhone, but my cell phone is years old, does not function as a camera, and although it has IM capability, I have never signed up for IM! (Am I a Luddite?)<BR/><BR/>My sister just gave me her old iPod (the first one that came out) but I have no idea what to do with it (yet).<BR/><BR/>Maybe one of my students can explain it to me! :-)Nina Liakoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04497100531617971306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32179523.post-9102910813482970992008-07-03T21:39:00.000+09:002008-07-03T21:39:00.000+09:00I can't comment in English.<BR/>というわけで日本語ですが、、キレイな色のネイルね♪<BR/>コップの中身はなぁに？？<BR/><BR/>21でおばさん言われたらあたしは…笑<BR/>去年川田さんからお誕生日おめでとうメールきたのが懐かしいね☆あきゃんhttp://blog.livedoor.jp/a_canq2i/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32179523.post-11379370225050623042008-07-03T08:05:00.000+09:002008-07-03T08:05:00.000+09:00Although I don't like it when people tell me the end of a movie or book, I find that knowing what the ending is does not interfere with my pleasure in re-reading a good book or watching a favorite movie again. The first time I read something, I like the suspense, but if I like a book or movie well enough to read or see it again, knowing how it ends does not destroy my pleasure at all. It might even enhance it!Nina Liakoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04497100531617971306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32179523.post-78201802401277719282008-07-03T08:01:00.000+09:002008-07-03T08:01:00.000+09:00I think most Americans would find this article funny. Our toilets are usually more ordinary. However, Americans famously used to complain about the paucity of clean, well-equipped toilets in Europe, and most people who traveled in Europe used to take their own toilet paper because European toilet paper used to be non-absorbent and scratchy (sometimes it was just old newspaper). So we have been guilty of similar thinking.Nina Liakoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04497100531617971306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32179523.post-32913234796870695912008-07-03T07:56:00.000+09:002008-07-03T07:56:00.000+09:00I saw the first one or two Indiana Jones movies but have skipped subsequent ones.

It is really so interesting! I have read a lot about Japan already, so I am not totally amazed, but it is fascinating to see how this mostly homogeneous society pulls together. Would this kind of "Confucian society" work in the ethnically diverse USA? It would take a huge change in mindset... but many aspects of the Asian way of valuing social harmony above individualism are very appealing.<BR/><BR/>The chapter on education was very interesting. However, as a parent of a child with special needs, I wonder what happens when a child is not capable of learning everything. Do Japanese schools provide special education for kids with physical and learning disabilities?Nina Liakoshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04497100531617971306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32179523.post-7940654403257743762008-06-26T13:53:00.000+09:002008-06-26T13:53:00.000+09:00Hello!
