Events events...new Zunes

There comes the period of the year of events in Japan. Starting with the TGS which after the death of the E3, if you saw the pictures, became the world's largest game show. Then, going on right now is the CEATEC, which is the equivalent to the CES in Las Vegas. This year the buss about the this displays is overwhelming. Starting with the Organic EL 11 incher Sony. And following Hitachi, Sharp and JVC/Victor. I remember reading in the neas a couple of months ago that Samsung said that Sony won't be able to launch the OEL display this year. HOWEVER, they did. And when it somes to Samsung, they seem to be under performing these days. By contrast, most Japanese companies are blossoming. Well, technology chanegs rapidly, so these companies should not be resting asured that they will be fine.
Ok, and the last but not the least, or maybe for some the biggest, is the TMS. Tokyo Motor Show 2007. I was ther for the 2003 one and it was amazing. So much stuff to do and see that a day is not enough.

Just announced today, the new Zunes that won't go on sale until Nobember. The new flash ones with Wi-Fi. The 80GB one with 3.2 inch display. The flash ones with 1.8 inch? Thats so last generarion. Only two things cought my attention. 3.2inch screen and Wi-Fi syncing. 0.2 inches bigger than the iPod classic. Wi-Fi syncing. I think it will be alright for the flash one thinking about the amount of data, but for the 80GBs. Ok maybe you put your stuff first big files and then for little updates like new songs you just downloaded yeasterday you can use the Wi-Fi sync.
Sounds ok. But design. These look like from any company. The 80GB, a black rentangular brick with a chrome ring. nothing special. In an interview with BusinessWeek, J Allard was saying how serious he was about giving this some taste because of the video of Steve Jobs saying that Microsoft has no taste. And is that all he can do? How disappointing it is. I was expecting better things. And this device is not made by Toshiba any more? That was the only reason I was for a while thinking of nuying one. I don't know the details anyway but thats what I read somewhere.
