Толковых новостей сегодня нет, зато есть забавное воспоминание: 22 февраля 1999 года запустились первые телефоны с поддержкой i-mode. Хорошо что сейчас и аймод и вап сервисы ушли в прошлое. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-mode
i-mode
NTT DoCoMo's i-mode is a mobile internet (distinct from wireless internet) service popular in Japan. Unlike Wireless Application Protocol, i-mode encompasses a wider variety of internet standards, including web access, e-mail, and the packet-switched network that delivers the data. i-mode users have access to various services such as e-mail, sports results, weather forecast, games, financial services, and ticket booking. Content is provided by specialized services, typically from the mobile carrier, which allows them to have tighter control over billing.
