> 1. Is the Palm Pilot in Japan?

Only recently have Palm and Visor introduced Japanese versions of the Palm, but I would imagine that you can get English versions there. Also there most likely are 3rd party devices that use the Palm OS.

I don't have an answer, but contacting the West Japan Palm User Group is probably the best start.

When you get things working, you should post a FAQ here. There is very little Japanese Palm info in English.
