The launch of the iPhone 3G is imminent. In the US and A we already know there they lining up since last friday or so. Now, thanks to Akihabara News we can enjoy a few pics of people queuing up in Harajuku, Tokyo. Just before the main Softbank store. See a few pictures after the break and the whole gallery on Akihabara News.

Ekitan just released 駅探ガジェット or Station searching Gadget (widget) for Windows Vista’s Sidebar. With this widget you can search, route and list timetables and prices all through Tokyo and the rest of Japan. This can be an extremly helpful application if you’re riding through Tokyo and need to know how much it costs to ride and transfer from Ueno to Ikebukuro for example. Watch a demo on their site and download the widget here.

Now, where is the widget for us Mac OS X users, Ekitan? Please don’t forget us!

This is Sega Toy’s new Yume Neko. A furry little robotic cat, introduced at the Tokyo Toy Forum this week. It’s cute (kind of), it reacts, and it speaks. And it speaks like a japanese porn star. This thing moans after your scratches and strokes. And if you’re good, it tells you it wants more like: “Give me more, give me more” or “Pet me softly”. Tokyomango describes it as the Creepy robotic porn cat. It pretty sums it up to this. Watch the video below, to see the cat in full bloom action.
