I just use the Air Sharing app and keep PDF files from the Tokyo Metro and JR East websites. They have English and Japanese versions available Then I always have them, even when I am in a tiny little izakaya in the basement of a building and can’t get a signal. My wife can’t call me and I can still view the maps anytime. Great for iPod Touch owners too!

Correct ….. useful utilities to help in day to day life and the learning apps make it a great device to own.

In Japan the cost of the phone is definitely a bargain ….. and yeh, the other lines would be nice but i get Tokyo Metro aren’t the provider so they say screw them.

Maybe it’s based on the default language of the phone?! I had a look and couldn’t find where to change either …. i just got that info from the app store.

I used it yesterday and found it OK, it did the job i wanted …. nothing more and nothing less. Some features like the static map are redundant though. Route planning is what i wanted.

it’s because of apps like this that the iphone/ipod touch is such a must have item.
