[right arrow] The bizarrely named "Z'Qun" is a USB-IrDA adapter in USB key form. For those of you who don't speak Geek, in English that means it's a little widget that will allow owners to zap, as if by magic, the photos they take on their camera-equipped mobile phones over to their PCs in wireless fashion. The mobile phones it will work with are legion--I'd write the list down here but if you're reading this at work and work entails operating heavy machinery, you may fall asleep and cause a nasty accident. Basically, if you have one by NTT DoCoMo and its model number has a D, N, F of P in it, you should be all set--and it'll even run on Vodafone's J-SH53 and J-N51 models.

[right arrow] The magic is achieved by way of slotting the Z'Qun into a USB port on your computer and then using your infrared send function on your keitai to sling it casually across the ether. Et voila! The USB key has a variety of transmission rates and should work at anything from 3cm to 1m away from your computer, but since it only uses USB 1.1 and version 1.1 of IrDA, you'll probably have time to sit through an entire televised football game (and they've been known to last for weeks--I sat down freshly shaven to watch the Ravens go against the Broncos last night and got up after the game with a full beard) before it's done sending over your reports.
