Willcom has managed to remain under the radar for most Japanese people, let alone the rest of the world. And it looks like they want to stay that way. Today, Kyocera has introduced two handsets for the service: the "AH-K3002V" with "business-like" features, and the "AP-K202S" for safety.

Do we really need another wireless data transmission standard? Kyocera apparently thinks so; their "iBurst" system is slightly slower than wireless LAN (while still faster than 3G cellular), with a slightly wider range than wireless LAN (though still not as wide range as 3G cellular).

In other words, iBurst is the middle ground between cellular and wireless LAN.

I thought this camera shown at Photokina 2004 was pretty nify, so I'm posting it here.

Also, it's important to mention that Contax is owned? by Kyocera. I am not 100% sure about the relationship between the two companies, but I do know that the Contax line is o­ne of Kyocera's camera brands.
