I was posted to Hong Kong in the spring of 2001.

My job required me to make business trips to Guangdong Province almost every week. I traveled around Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Maoming, etc. by car, train, high-speed boat, and bus. It was fine for a day trip, but if I stayed for two or three nights, I would end up with a mountain of emails piling up every day, and it was a real pain to get back to Hong Kong. I had a laptop with me, but I could only use it properly at night in my hotel room. Since high-speed networks that can be easily used outdoors like today were not yet widespread, it was extremely difficult to check emails on my PC while traveling by car or train, complete the necessary tasks, and then reply.

It was not impossible to do, but the communication speed was very slow, so it took time just to download a mountain of emails, and I would often get disconnected and have to reconnect and start over again, which just stressed me out. It just took time, and eventually the battery ran out and it was all over.

I had a mobile phone, but it was a NOKIA 3310 or some other model, and it could only speak English and Chinese, and couldn't read POP mail. In short, it was a device that could only make calls. I had a SONY CLIE, so I bought a BT modem card and connected it to my mobile phone to try dialing up, but it would sometimes connect and sometimes not, and I was frustrated.

Around that time, Windows Mobile Phone was gradually becoming more widely known, and I thought it would be the second global standard after DYNABOOK. It was a PDA with a SIM slot, so I could make calls, and it could send and receive emails through the GPRS network, all with one device.

With this, world domination is not a dream.

I bought it. To borrow a phrase that is used everywhere, I guess you could say "I had it before I knew it."

But, I couldn't use Japanese as it was. This is a problem. I want to use Japanese on Windows Mobile Phone. While searching the Internet, I found out that there was someone in neighboring Shenzhen who was bravely struggling in the same situation. This person had already achieved displaying Japanese on a Windows Mobile device and even inputting Japanese. I studied the site and learned from him. That person was Asukal, who would later become a great help to me. The site said to contact him directly for the necessary information on Japanese translation, so I sent him an email right away. He responded immediately and told me about Lets Japan, which is said to be known by everyone in the area. After that, I was able to set up an environment for processing emails while on the move through a series of tricks.

And so, the sudden mobile user was born!

The password was

Anytime, anywhere, with anyone

Please enjoy the tricks of those days in past posts.

According to an article in my old blog, I first met Asukal on July 14, 2005. I remember him inviting me to dinner during a business trip, and we dined together as a Northeasterner from Yangguang Square in Shenzhen. Has it already been 17 years...?
