After many long months of building, refining and beta testing, TangoTown
has today been launched on the DoCoMo i-mode official English menu
joining the J-Phone J-Sky official content listing..
TangoTown, a mobile internet site, offers a huge number of language and
learning tools via a Japanese mobile phone handset.
Offered are:
E<->J Dictionaries, multiple Kanji look-up tools, automatic phrase
translation, phrase books, learning tools such as flashcards and
interactive games, reference guides as well as lifestyle article in both
Japanese and English to put those language skills into practice. This
site is updated daily and offers daily lessons emailed to your phone at
your convenience.
Access TangoTown using the following:
For JPhones - J-Sky main menu -> Global Net -> TangoTown
For DoCoMo - English menu -> Lifestyle -> Dictionary -> TangoTown
For FOMA - English menu list -> Database -> TangoTown.
if you don't have access to a keitai, this link offers a few samples for
viewing on a regular desktop browser.

For those techies amongst you, there are some really interesting features
that we have included as a showcase of Enfour technology - such as auto-
wordwrapping/formatting for all handsets accessing the TangoTown data.
This is done on-the-fly to suit the needs of the phone - screen width etc.
Plus the content is customisable for graphics content (ie to use less
packets), romaji/kana selection, personalised marquees and daily email
lessons for words, phrases, idioms, kanji etc which can be all accessed
from the settings link from the home page for registered users.
Let me know what suggestions you may have for improvements/upgrades.
Cheers,
Tracey (the shameless self promoter)
