Tokyo taxis being equipped with Wi-Fi, PSPgo

The Japanese ISP NTT DoCoMo has said today that they will begin equipping taxis with free Wi-Fi.
Additionally, some of the taxis will have Sony PSPgo handhelds left in the back.

820 cabs in Tokyo will get the Wi-Fi, while only 100 will get the handheld.

The company says taxis with the extras can be identified by red DoCoMo Wi-Fi stickers on their doors.

DoCoMo's service is in testing now and will launch fully in March.

Can't sell them. Might as well give them away.
