(keitai-l) Re: imode/Palm Link Sanity Check

The RF interface protocol is public.  There are two variants.  First, there
is a standard RF instruction set agreed to by all of the phone companies,
second Nokia has made additional functions available for their own phones.

Nokia publishes this information and I will try to find an URL to
reference. BTW, this functionality is actually much easier to implement in
Europe or the US.  Here in Japan only Nokia (to my knowledge) has a phone
with an IR.

     If this is true then it means it also is possible (and why
     it wouldn't be) to upload chmtl pages to imode phone
     via he same interface without the phone being connected
     to DoCoMo network.

     This would enable non Japanese developers to try their designs
     without actually flying to Japan (if you happen to have
     an imode phone of course).

     This is something I have been asking since the begining of
     the list. The protocol of the RF interface isn't propably
     puböic information. But if someone really has done the
     software PAt described above, it means you can get
     it from DoCoMo or someone has reverse engineered it.
