Thanks for the tip. I just called the San Francisco Kinnokuniya and they
didn't know about an English version of Matsunaga's book. I'm having a
friend bring a copy from Japan. Frengle's imode book is fairly technical
and practical for making real applications. Please let there be i-mode in
the US soon! I doubt Matsunaga's book is similar in its material, but I'm
interested in reading it nontheless since I'd like to learn the business
side of the success. I found this site that will ship an English copy of
her book to the US for $18 http://www.chuangyi.com.sg/misc/i-mode.html
