If you can find it, that Mari Matsunaga book is pretty great. She is the mother of i-mode after all. :)

And I had forgotten that i-mode was available in Europe for a while…

The i-mode lifestyle in Japan seems fascinating for an aspiring geek . I am 22 now , I never had money to go there but the I-mode inspired me , even if the service failed in Europe and Romania of course . Now , thanks to cheap android devices , we have our own I-mode , even Takeshi Natsuno , the father of I-mode said he is proud of i-phone . When I was 15 , in 2005 I just entered high-school , my mom got me an i-mode device that worked on GSM 2G . The I-mode did not work of course , but the clamshell design took my breath away , it was a nec n21 i , the phone was very cheap ( I live in Romania ) , so I searched for I-mode . The truth is , now I am happy , we have our android , and the mobile internet is booming now . Oh well , I am happy to hear that I am not the only one fascinated about this exotic service . Send me back an e-mail if u want ! :D
