For one week only Tech Digest has jetted east for a gadget-crawl round the land of the rising sun. We’ll be reporting on the world’s biggest LCD TV, which is due to be unveiled by Sharp tomorrow (Oct 5th), take a field trip though Tokyo’s legenday gadget dictrict Akihabra and spend a day or so at CEATEC, arguably the world’s most influential consumer electronics show.
