If you’re an iPhone app developer or know someone who is, then stay tuned for some exciting news…

Here’s a preview [PDF] of next week’s Metropolis Tech Know column, due to appear in the year-end double issue (822/3).

Everything from tiny Ubuntu laptops to awesome pictures (well, I took ‘em…) of DoCoMo’s HQ in Tokyo – that’s what you’ll find in this month’s selection from Metropolis magazine.

After far too long without a proper holiday, it’s time to take a couple of weeks off and head for the sun in, er, Ireland.

Everything from flexible robot skin to exploding laptop hard drives – that’s what you’ll find in this month’s selection from Metropolis magazine.

After a massive Twitter-only clearance sale last week, the doors are open to everyone and prices have been slashed, so get moving!

Wow - we’re really getting into the hard tech news now, eh? Completely ignoring the 18 insanely dull new phones DoCoMo just announced, I bring you our famous Pikarin-kun logo done up in finest colored glass beads instead.

Everything from 3D cameras to hardworking dung beetles – that’s what you’ll find in this month’s selection from Metropolis magazine.

This weekend sees the sticky old Golden Week public holiday period begin in Japan, with a mad rush to do exactly the same thing as everyone else and sit in traffic jams or visit incredibly crowded ‘attractions.’

Everything from personal wind turbines to magic underwear that actually burns body fat – that’s what you’ll find in this month’s selection from Metropolis magazine.

Anyone traveling in Tokyo knows how confusing the subway can be even if you can read Japanese, which is why we’re eternally grateful for Presselite’s new Tokyo Metro iPhone or iPod touch app. Best of all, we’ve got ten copies to give away.

What, with Valentine’s Day coming up at the weekend, it’s kinda lucky our dating pals at We Heart Tokyo have an extra special free deal going on until Feb. 15, isn’t it?

If you’re in the market for a new job this year and also happen to be in Japan or still thinking about it, then you might want to check out our new, free-to-use jobs board – you’ll find it up there near the top of the page.

I’m not sure if turning the plain-Jane old mobile site into a fancy new version using Winksite counts as a facelift, but I can say that it looks absolutely splendid now.

Since it’s the season of goodwill and all that, it’s probably about time we acknowledged and said thanks to our magnificent guest posters who’ve been adding a little variety to DWT recently.

Sure, many of you already know the benefits of our private-label friend-finding site, We Heart Tokyo, but did you know just how much there is going on behind the scenes to make sure every last member finds the perfect match?

With the tiny amount of stuff I’ve been posting recently, it hardly seems like a holiday is in order, but Hawaii calls and we’re answering with an enthusiastic Mahalo…

After a long layoff for the holidays DWT is back at last and raring to go, albeit with a hefty dose of seasonal germs. Achoo…

Regular visitors might have noticed - via links like the one at the page head, at the end of stories or over there on the far right - that we’ve moved into the dating website business and you might wonder why…

If you’ve noticed things looking a little different around here that’s because they are — we’ve moved the site from Movable Type to Expression Engine and taken the opportunity to make a few small cosmetic changes while we were at it.
