Anyone know where this is?
"At the end of August the company (NTT) made its application programming 
interface and development tools publicly available to content providers 
interested in developing Java applets for the phones. "

What happened to the "write once, run anywhere" concept of Java?
"In order to create its Java environment, NTT DoCoMo has chosen to use K 
virtual machine and connected limited device configuration technology 
developed by Sun Microsystems. However, NTT DoCoMo has altered the 
"profile" API set that controls the CLDC to suit its own specifications. 
What that means is that it is very likely that Java applets developed for 
i-mode phones will be unable to run on the EZweb or J-Sky phones marketed 
by competing companies."
