The Nueros 20 Gb HD looks like the second act of the RIAA's nightmare scenario.
The coup de grace for this is highspeed wireless sharing between handheld drives. A simple user preference: share or private. Auto-recognition of shared drives within the wireless radius of the handheld. The ability to select, connect, and download playlists, music, movies, etc at high speed. [John Robb's Radio Weblog] |

KDDI profit rises more than 200 pct as it outshines DoCoMo Japan's second-largest telecoms company, KDDI Corp, reported on Friday a 205.4 percent rise in group net profit on brisk cost-cutting, while half-year sales dipped on lower per-user revenue for its mobile service. The results exceeded a forecast of a 14.5 billion yen profit by corporate research firm Toyo Keizai, and are in sharp contrast to half-year earnings from NTT DoCoMo Inc -- KDDI's bigger rival. 10:47:20 AM comment

KDDI first-half tipped to rise on 3G demand 3G has been kind to KDDI. Japan's second-largest telecoms operator, KDDI Corp, is expected to post solid half-year results this week, boosted by strong demand for its third-generation (3G) mobile phone service. Average 3G users spent 10,420 yen ($85.44) a month from April to June, KDDI said in August. "This figure has probably come down for July-September. But if it remains around 8,000 yen or 9,000 yen, it would still have a boosting effect," Takashi Hayasaka, a senior telecommunications analyst at HSBC Securities said. The amount is 38 percent more than the company's overall per-user revenue of 7,560 yen a month from services such as conventional mobile phones. 10:46:32 AM comment
