Mitsubishi and Panasonic also have IR ports on their imode handsets. Unfortunately, they can only communicate with devices manufactured by the same vendor. ie Mitsubishi to Mitsubishi and Panasonic to Panasonic Kevin jason.c.freedman@ac.com 2000/08/16 16:52:24 keitai-l@appelsiini.net$B$KJV?.$7$F$/$@$5$$(B $BAw?.Received on Wed Aug 16 11:05:59 2000com $B08_at_h(B: keitai-l@appelsiini.net cc: (bcc: Kevin Williams/Japan/APAC/IDC) $B7oL>(B: (keitai-l) Re: imode/Palm Link Sanity Check The RF interface protocol is public. There are two variants. First, there is a standard RF instruction set agreed to by all of the phone companies, second Nokia has made additional functions available for their own phones. Nokia publishes this information and I will try to find an URL to reference. BTW, this functionality is actually much easier to implement in Europe or the US. Here in Japan only Nokia (to my knowledge) has a phone with an IR.

If this is true then it means it also is possible (and why it wouldn't be) to upload chmtl pages to imode phone via he same interface without the phone being connected to DoCoMo network. This would enable non Japanese developers to try their designs without actually flying to Japan (if you happen to have an imode phone of course). This is something I have been asking since the begining of the list. The protocol of the RF interface isn't propably pub öic information. But if someone really has done the software PAt described above, it means you can get it from DoCoMo or someone has reverse engineered it. -- Mika Tuupola http://www.appelsiini.net/~tuupola/
