We've received many comments on our web site.  Thank you all very much.. keep the comments and advice coming.  Here are some samples:

"I wanted to tell you that I love your web site! Not only is it my current home page, but I downloaded it to my handheld and have been reviewing over and over. In less than 2 weeks, I will be traveling to Japan on my honeymoon. My new wife and I will be traveling there for just under 3 weeks enjoying a much needed vacation. With all of the preparation for such a trip, it is a joy seeing an English web site that is a jumping point for so much information. It is a definition of a great web site - no fluff, easy to read and I can take it with me! BRAVO!"
-- comments from CEO and Chairman of Aportis Technologies Corp.

"Your site is quite useful for the US tourist bound for Japan.  We really like the information and your delivery.  Your site will be shared internally within our company for all of our employees who have to go to Japan to events and work."
-- comments from Handspring, the creators of the new VisorTM handheld PDA

"JapanInYourPalm: This is where to go to download travel information on Japan into your Palm Pilot. Apart from the usual assortment of maps, nightlife recommendations and movie listings, you'll find restaurant menus in English and a list of handy telephone numbers. A work in progress, the site offers information on Hiroshima, Tokyo and Kyoto, with other cities to be added eventually. Non-Palmies will find these pages worth perusing-and you can print them out, too."
-- article in Time Magazine, Asia Edition, May 1, 2000

"Now this is a guidebook. The coolest thing about this Hiroshima-centered site is translated menus that can be printed or loaded into your Palm PDA. No more settling on McDonald's out of lingualphobia. But it's obvious from the depth and breadth of Japan in Your Palm that the Ford Motor Co. software engineer who put it together in his spare time has a great deal of affection not only for food but also for the city, country and culture. A really nice gift to anyone living or visiting the city."
-- Japan Times, Surferspud, August 16, 2000

"This is a really great site!  Full of useful information, and absolutely clean design.  No clutter, just information, easy to find.  And downloadable on top of all"

"Just wanted to take a quick moment to tell you how helpful your website has been for me. I have made 5 trips to Hiroshima so far, 4 with the Palm guide and it really makes a difference. Thank you very much for taking some of the stress out of traveling"

"I’m a Detroit native (currently living in Los Angeles) getting ready to relocate to Hiroshima. I’ve already synched my Palm to Japaninyourpalm.com and study it in my spare moments. I’ll have to say, this is the most informative site I’ve found for information regarding Hiroshima."

"I am an American traveling to Japan (including Hiroshima) on vacation in May with my family (including a 9 year-old). I have been researching my trip for the last several months (being especially paranoid not being able to speak Japanese). I found your web-site by chance, and just wanted to thank you for creating it.  It is singularly the most helpful web-site regarding dining in Hiroshima, and one of the most helpful regarding dining in Japan."

"Absolutely wonderful job, Al !  Professional quality work.  I am sure you can find a job as a web designer back in Silicon Valley now ! "

"Since the moment I left Japan, 3 years ago, I've wanted to go back.  With the information on your page, I'm ready to go right now!  Three years ago I took my Palm Pilot and a modem (for e-mail) and had some information, but nothing like what you provide.  Thank you for this little extra incentive to return."

"Cool web site and great idea."

"Your new web site name is WONDERFUL.  The name really captures the theme of your site, and shows the uniqueness of your site: Palm downloading capability."

"I just looked at your Japan/Palm Pilot info site -- very nice work."

"I'm a new Ford International Service Employee.  Just wanted to say THANKS for putting together the website.  You can't imagine what it's like trying to wander around this place alone.  This will be a great help!"

"Your site looks great by the way - nice clean design, and lots of functionality with the discussion group sections."

"It's great page!!  I really enjoyed this site.  I just spent the past hour reading everything !!"

"A great site.  Very easy to maneuver and bright and interesting.   We'll be back."
