Interesting that they talk about Suica, which is of course the most
well-known Felica application, but for JR trains only, but not about
Eddy, which is another Felica application that lets you buy stuff in a
convience store. (I've seen them in AM/PM; I don't recall if they're
available elsewhere.) Eddy has been around for a year or so now, I
think.
