More than a million Internet-capable mobile phones have been sold by Japan's NTT Mobile Communications Inc., commonly known as NTT DoCoMo, in the past six months. "It's an Internet explosion," says Takeshi Natsuno, NTT DoCoMo's media director of gateway business development, adding that sales exceeded even the company's estimates.

The tiny i-mode phone, weighing just 90 grams (3.17 ounces), allows users to read Web pages with simple graphics and short text. Mr. Natsuno says the next few months will see the introduction of Java-enabled i-mode phones that let users download software that does everything from graphic-intensive online games to transactions requiring more sophisticated security features.


SWCM up almost 29% today on news of a wireless deal with Sprint. Place your bets on wireless, the internet, JAVA, Jini, SUNW, LU, CSCO, SWCM, Linux, freedom and the probability there will still be @ssh_les in a wireless world.

P.S. NT can't even run on ONE processor. No worries. Doesn't Compaq have enough problems competing with DELL?

I enjoyed some of the choices of words and phrases in the first few paragraphs of that article (then I must admit my attention waned):

They will "lash together" systems -- that sounds about right; I wonder what kind of twine they'll use.

Their strategy is to "eviscerate Sun from below" -- eeyew, that sounds like a nasty way to go.

JMHO.
