i-Mode

A packet-based information service for mobile phones from NTT DoCoMo. i-Mode provides Web browsing, e-mail, calendar, chat, games and customized news. It was the first smartphone system for Web browsing and grew very quickly after its introduction in 1999 in Japan. By the end of 2001, there were more than 20 million i-Mode subscribers, and in 2006 that number had grown to over 50 million, worldwide.

i-Mode is a proprietary system that uses a subset of HTML, known as cHTML, in contrast to WAP, which uses a variation of HTML, known as WML. The initial i-Mode transfer rate was 9,600 bps. In 2001, the WCDMA-based Freedom of Mobile Multimedia Access (FOMA) service was launched, boosting data speeds to 384 Kbps. See WAP and NTT DoCoMo.
