I recently discovered how you can buy raw manga directly from japan to read on your android tablet.  I pieced instructions together from Japanese Tease and tfq.

1. Start by making an account at http://honto.jp/
2. Then download TunnelBear from the google play store
3. Connect to a Japanese server in Tunnel Bear
4. Go to settings -> accounts and make a new temporary google account
5. Go to google play and switch to that account (google play should turn all kanji-ey!)
6. Then search and download the honto app
7. You can then go buy whatever manga you want from honto, then download it to your device to read from their app 🙂

It took a lot of digging to figure it all out, but it’s not too tricky to get set-up 🙂  It’s a little hard getting around honto, but they had no problems accepting my american CC x3  I used chrome since it will auto-translate pages for you which made it a bit easier.

Similarly to Nokia’s remote testing lab, Samsung has thier own remote testing lab.  It’s pretty much the same concept, for free you get 5 hours of testing time with real devices per day.

In general the devices are a lot more quicker and responsive then Nokia’s.  Unless you want to test on older devices – they crash at every turn and are pretty unusable. :/  But, they’re latest devices on there are great to have access to for testing. 🙂  If you’re developing for Android, you’ll definitely want to check it out.
