Japan has a knack for marketing odd merchandise. Several of them thrive, nevertheless. Enter King Jim’s Pomera DM100.
When I lived in Tokyo, I spent way too much time in the Akihabara electronics district. That’s in which retailers hawked, for instance, pint-sized laptops built for the Japanese market by IBM Japan. To me, individuals Large Blue portables seemed impractical but constantly discovered a lot of purchasers.
In that vein, the Pomera DM100 has apparently struck a chord of sorts in Japan. Adequate to be deemed worthy of a lengthy critique in Japan’s primary organization every day, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun.
So, why would an august publication like Nikkei create up a device with a five.7-inch monochrome display, no Wi-Fi, and no broadband?
Properly, due to the fact it is a very rapid way to take notes, let’s say, in a meeting. Not convinced nevertheless? It turns on instantaneously. Not nevertheless? Has a rated 30 hours of battery daily life and weighs only 399 grams. Nevertheless not interested? It sends text instantaneously to an iPhone or iPad through QR code utilizing a Bluetooth connection. And it’s priced more than $ 350. Okay, so I lost you there.
But if you want to go minimalist and chuck that bulky MacBook, it’s an alternative–in Japan, at least. If you want more convincing see this video review or a far more in-depth video evaluation here.
