> I-mode boasts nearly 29 million users browsing the Web on credit-card-sized screens.

It's true that imode has around 29 million subscribers. But it's a bit of a misunderstanding of imode to say the imode subscribers "browse the web on credit-card-sized screens". It's a misunderstanding which is quite common for people who write about imode without having actually used imode personally (at present you need to be a fluent reader of Japanese language to use and understand real-life imode). I live in Tokyo and use imode everyday - but I definitely don't "browse the web on my credit-card-sized screen". What I do do with imode is to use very useful applications which don't exist on the wired web.
