: Music Porter X finally available

We presented the Music Porter X during the CEATEC 2005, and just as a reminder, this is a DoCoMo phone with 1GB of memory for your MP3's and it uses MOBA HO!, a digital sattelite solution that has some difficulties getting off the ground here in Japan. DoCoMo will now finally start selling the Music Porter X (by Mitsubishi) in Japan on April 8th , and that seems a bit late in my humble opinion. AU of KDDI has been selling DMB phones that do not require a monthly payment (MOBA HO! will cost 7 EUR per month), and the AU phones have between 1 and 4Gb of storage space for music files. This new phone seems a bit too little too late when compared to what is already available on the Japanese market now, and we think only the "young" design and the 240x400 screen will be selling points in a market that is in constant evolution and that forgets quickly what is considered outdated.
