[Emily Dubberley]

talking i-mode with someone who's got real experience of it sounds like it

could be good - count me in

Subject: RE: UKNM: WAP


Despite the success of i-mode in Japan, my friends in Tokyo informs me that

WAP is actually a far better protocol for development of the mobile

internet.  The reason that i-mode has been successful is not the technology

but the marketing by NTT DoCoMo.  The think that WAP seems to be missing at

the moment is the delivery platform and decent handsets.


Anybody else got info on the 'let's not write WAP off just yet side of

things'?


On of one my friends who develops i-mode sites will be coming to the UK

sometime in November.  If there is interest from the list I will ask him if

he will lend us the benefit of his experience over a beer.  Any takers?
