How about web sites, e. g. http://www.asahi.com/ ?

Ok then - I wasn't sure if the system's really all GTK2.

Being able to use dictionaries, such as

http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html
http://bibiko.de/wadoku/
http://www.bibiko.de/kanji/

would be a huge selling point, seeing as a standalone denshi jiten
easily costs $400, especially if imported. Hmm ...

Anyway, good enough news, will see where I can get one cheap.

An official statement regarding future CJK support (on the current hw)
would still be great.

There seems to be some interest in Japan itself, as at least one
company seems to be importing the 770.

Thanks,
