Here are some interesting extracts - he says that:
- 77% of imode usage in Japan is SMS
- imode has no future in Europe
- he thinks WAP, GPRS, MMS offers the same things
  as imode in Japan
- he thinks typical applications for images
  via mobile (sha-mail) in Europe will be
  police officers and insurance agents reporting
  images from accident scenes to operation centers
- European handset makers are unlikely to offer
  imode handsets
- Nokia will introduce UMTS handsets on Sept 26.
