The first would certainly pass operator approval in Japan, were any
approvals necessary. They don't use SMS here; when you send e-mail you
pay only the same data charges you'd pay if you sent the same amount of
data any other way, so the operators couldn't care less which method you
used. And of course Java i-Appli like this already exist, anyway. I've
got one that will let me download from a POP3 mailbox, for example.
The third can't be written in Java on the phones available today, but
it could be written in C or C++ for AU's BREW phone. I don't see why it
wouldn't pass operator approval.
