We started the show with the latest news about the iPhone in Japan. That being that Softbank are giving away the 8GB iPhone with a 2 year contract. Related to this was an article by Wired that used old quotes from Hayashi-san. Hiro says that it is a forged article but I am not so sure.I'm tempted about getting the iPhone so we summed up in our first Top 5 lists. Top5 reasons to get an iPhone and top 5 reasons not to get an iPhone. You can join in and vote in our poll below.As promised in a previous episode, Hiro showed you and me some tips on using Fastladder the online (and super-fast) rss news feed reader. He also promised to show us some Greasemonkey tips in a future show.The latest lot of Mac updates/upgrades were next. And I asked Hiro his opinion on whether Apple is waiting for Steve Jobs to come back before launching big big products.We had some site news. Starting with the completion of our localisation to the start of our twitter feeds. They are:http://twitter.com/messalibertyhttp://twitter.com/messatvHiro and I also have personal twitter accounts not mentioned in the show but if you are interested here they are:http://twitter.com/mlhshinohttp://twitter.com/blndcatThe last of the site news was the design of the new messa.tv which fingers crossed should be completed in time for episode 4. But before Episode 4, we have a special episode at a special location. Our special episode will be recorded at DenDen Town, where there is a Street Festa. If you don't know DenDen Town or Nipponbashi is Osaka's Akihabara where electronics, anime, manga, games and maid cafes converge.And finally, we ended the show with thanking Asiajin's founder Akimoto-san for twittering about us.Thank-you for watching and see you in the Special Episode.
