i noticed something strange in a CNET article...
it seems to say that downloading java applets will be
up to 4 times more expensive.
i thought that packet fees were fixed and didn't depend on the type of content.
does anyone know the reality here?

an excerpt from the CNET article:
( http://yahoo.cnet.com/news/0-1004-200-4522937.html?tag=st.ne.ron.lthd )
> The new service, called "i appli," will be based on Java technology, a programming language developed by Sun
> Microsystems. The service will allow consumers to download information including elaborate games and
> automatically updated stock prices.
>
> Initially, two models of "i appli" phones will be available, from Matsushita Communication Industrial and Fujitsu, NTT
> DoCoMo said. Prices for the phones, which will also link to I-mode sites, have not been set.
>
> The cost of the "i appli" service is covered by the current $2.50 (300 yen) a month I-mode fee, but receiving the
> customized data will be up to four times more expensive than current I-mode rates.
