We sent 3 of our gadgetmaniacs to Tokyo last month to ferret out the latest gadget trends. So what have we got to show for it? …. a beautifully photographed travelogue of Japan, and, wait for it …. pix of two, yes, 2, gadgets!!

Sony Qualia 016 Camera - Exploded View

Direct from the Sony Ginza Building in Tokyo Japan, the image above is an exploded view of the Sony Qualia 016 $3200 digital camera, described earlier in this forum.

Also from the Sony Building, the people above are petting the Sony Aibo maintenance-free mechanical dog.

So what did our gadgetmaniacs do after a tedious day of gadget hunting? Judging from the sequence numbers of the images, they seem to have gone next door to Maxim’s for some cappuccino:

Our spies indicate that there are indeed more gadgets in Tokyo, and suggested a follow-up trip to review them. Many of those gadgets can be found near Shinjuku Station at the famous Yodobashi Camera Co.,Ltd whose facade they did manage to photograph:
