First Reviews of Personal, Portable, Pedestrian

After boingboinging our keitai book, Xeni Jardin wrote a review in Wired News How Mobile Phone Conquered Japan. As usual, Xeni does a great job of extracting the highlights of what is interesting and relevant in the work.

We have also been blessed by some great blog coverage:
