Sure, this product doesn’t make sense, but fax machines do make sense to a lot of people who don’t trust emails yet. Not that it’s any more secure…

There are a few user-cases that you are ignoring. Believe it or not with a lot of schools, businesses and Government agencies, you have to choices when submitting an application: fax or mail. Email simply isn’t an option in a lot of cases.

There’s where services that take an attachment in an email and send it to a physical fax machine comes into use. It happens all the time…

Very strange that no one came up with this idea sooner.

“even in Japan” ?

They still use so much paper here it looks like the 1970s when you walk into a bank.

Despite the image of Japan as a modern high tech nation, a lot of people there have problems with computers, email, etc. so more discreet devices like faxes have always been more popular.

Anyone who’s worked in an office there would probably have fun stories of printing documents from the computer just to fax (instead of emailing the file), or having to print out an entire website for the company president to read…

Doesn’t make sense. You can do all of this with an e-mail. I’m surprised that facsimiles are still in existence.

Meh….. There have been reliable fax-to-email systems available for years, both for businesses and individuals. I use a company called Faxage. I get a fax number, faxes to it are forwared as PDF attachments to my email. To send a fax via email is just as easy.

Not sure what makes this Panasonic device all that special. Paperless fax is already a widespread reality.

you’d really be hard pushed to type out a decent length fax on that keypad!!!
