I-MODE PHONES
i-mode phones have a special i-mode button for the
user to access the start menu.
The phones measure and weigh about the same as Nokia models.
imode network and imode handsets are equipped for SSL (secure
socket layer) encrypted transmission, and imode handsets have
unique identifiers allowing similar security to be implemented as on
the wired internet. Mobile banking on imode and corporate networks
use SSL.
I-MODE AND WAP
The key competitor to DoCoMo is WAP(Wireless Application
Protocol)
WAP is an open standard protocol that works with various
wireless networks.
WAP is developed by the WAP Forum
The WAP protocol enables mobile systems such as phones, pagers,
smart phones, and handheld devices to receive information and
services from one another.
WAP supports a special language called WML orWireless Markup
Language.
Contd….
Web pages that are currently written in HTML cannot be read by
WAP phones. Therefore, web site owners who want their pages to
be read by a cell phone will have to create a different page in WML
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WAP AND I-MODE
WAP implementations are circuit-switched whereas the i-mode.
Imode phone uses packet-switching.
