Technology

When i first came to Japan i was excited about getting a mobile phone that could do more than the ones back home, like hold money which i could use to pay for goods and services at different places.

I have no idea the technology to implement this feature was so basic.

Even though there’s no capability to store money in it, I still prefer my iPhone any day of the week.

iBonsai iPhone App

May 21, 2009 · 3 comments

Here’s an interesting iPhone app that lobbed in my email this morning called iBonsai.

Is it “useful” ? No … is it a game? No .. nor is it meant to be either. The intent from the creator is it’s an app “more about relaxation and meditation – along with beautiful 3D art”

It seems it’s been well received by many and there’s already a plenty of pics of iBonsai trees popping up on flickr.

If that’s left you wanting and just not quite funtional enough for you then you might care to check out Ken Lees’ app called Size because according to Ken size does matter.

There’s nothing easy about navigating around the Softbank and trying to check your iPhone bill online, unless of course you’re extremely competent in Japanese.

I knew i’d been able to do it before but getting there again wasn’t easy at all so here’s the step by step, with pictures, on how to check your iPhone statements online.

Go to the My SoftBank website and here’s the screen you’ll see. Enter your User ID and Password in the appropriate area then hit the black box below it that says “Login”

Provided you’ve entered your password correctly you should be in.
