great idea!
here's a thought on how you might measure the real roundtrip time from your server
to an i-mode keitai:
create a test page that is as simple as possible but contains one gif image.
from your server, measure the time from when you serve that page to when you get
the request for the gif image.
this time should be the roundtrip time to the actual handset plus some
additional time
for the microbrowser to look at the cHTML page and find the image to fetch.
i can't guess the microbrowser time, but we could hope that it is small compared to
the roundtrip time.
