Actually the English sites on the official I-mode menu are
quite boring (Headlines, CNN, Stocks, weekly updated diary of
a depressed japanese girl) but the japanese ones are really
interesting, they have a better and more compressed layout since
japanese words are much shorter than english ones, and overall
are there things I never thought about...
In presentations we made to foreigners we saw that since nobody
could read japanese, nobody really wanted to see the japanese
version and they all got back to the english sites, which
are really comparable to WAP services (except that I never
heard of a WAP version of a diary of a depressive japanese girl),
they only look better on a brandnew color screen handset.

One of the reasons I live here. It's never get boring! ;)
