Hi all,

I'm putting together a list of mobile content provider & application
developer companies for an upcoming article in JI magazine (Likely Nov.
issue). Listing criterion will be: (a) small & genki, (b) Japan-focused, and
(c) mobile-related.

If anyone wishes to submit their company (or anyone else's company) for
consideration, please fill in the info below and return to me as soon as
possible, and not later than ***SEPTEMBER 6***.

The companies I already have are shown below by name and URL--but that's all
I have. It would be great to receive the updated info for these as well as
for any new additions.

Pls. feel free to redistribute this message.

Many thanks,

--Daniel
