The Data Discman is an electronic book e-reader introduced in 1992 by Sony Corporation. It was marketed in the United States to college students and international travelers, but had little success outside of Japan. The Data Discman was designed to allow quick access to electronic reference information on a pre-recorded disc. Searching terms were entered using a QWERTY-style keyboard and utilized the "Yes" and "No" keys. A typical Data Discman model has a low resolution small grayscale LCD, CD drive unit, and a low-power computer. Early versions of the device were incapable of playing audio CDs. Software was prerecorded and usually featured encyclopedias, foreign language dictionaries and novels. The All Data Discman model had audio and video output capabilities. A DD-10EX was included in an exhibition entitled ''The Book and Beyond: Electronic Publishing and the Art of the Book'', held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, from April to October 1995. The exhibition also included a CD-ROM designed to be played on the Data Discman, entitled ''The Library of the Future''. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Data Discman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
