i-Mode portails has 1M users: 3com Palm mentioned.

Mobile Data in Brief

By Jeremy Scott-Joynt
16 August 1999

Japan's NTT DoCoMo's i-mode service, which allows subscribers to receive banking, travel and entertainment information as well as basic e-mail on their mobile phones, has hit the 1 million user mark within six months of its launch. DoCoMo has supplied i-mode portals, which are similar in principle to WAP gateways but use standard HTML, to over 100 companies in Japan. The service runs over a packet-based version of NTT's PDC standard.

3Com Corp. has licensed a WAP-compliant browser from Phone.com for use in its Palm range of handheld devices. The browser will be integrated with Palm products and licensed as a package to manufacturers of wireless data devices. 3Com hopes the move will push the adoption of Palm technology for small-screened smartphones. The company has already developed its own WebClipping technology for accessing Web pages on handheld devices.

Japan's rollout of third-generation mobile services could be delayed thanks to the postponement by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of its technical standards for 3G. The Telecoms Technology Council (TTC), which advises the MPT on standards issues, had to push back its submission of technical requirements for commercial services from July to September. NTT DoCoMo may now have to delay its proposed launch date of March 2001.
