ot---NTT Docomo to use Sun's Java in cell phone service TOKYO, March 16 (Reuters) - NTT Mobile Communications Network Inc (NTT Docomo) said on Monday it had signed a memorandum of understanding with Sun Microsystems Inc (Nasdaq:SUNW - news) on use of Sun software in Docomo's cellular phone services. Docomo said Sun's Java, Jini and Java Card software technology would be used to improve security for banking services, downloading of game software and other applications. The software will be used in Docomo's new ''i-Mode'' mobile computing service, which includes telephone banking, airline reservations, stock transactions, e-mail and Internet access. Docomo said it will launch a prototype of i-Mode cell phones using Sun's technology later this year and will also consider using the technology on W-CDMA (wideband-code division multiple access) cell phones, which are expected to reach the market within the next few years and will allow high-resolution video and high-speed Internet access.
