NTT DoCoMo i-Mode Emulator Resources

Published 03 October 04 02:18 AM | jld

I recently got an email from someone interested in i-Mode application development. i-Mode is a platform developed by NTT DoCoMo for Japanese mobile phones. I wrote an extensive article on developing ASP.NET content for i-Mode phones right here entitled "Building i-Mode Websites using Mobile.NET" (requires membership to view).

I sent him a list of all the emulators I could find around the web (most of the pages are written in Japanese - you can use Babelfish to translate if you wish). If anyone cares to add to this list, please reply to this blog or send me an email. DevX has a listing of i-Mode tools - I'm primarily concentrating on offerings by DoCoMo or Access (makers of the i-Mode browser).

The retail version of Adobe GoLive 6.0 contains a really nice i-Mode NetFront emulator with several skins (please note that the trial version of the product does not have the emulator bundled in).

Hi Alex,

You probably need to add something like this to your .htaccess file:

Addhandler x-httpd-php441 .php

A site we did the other day had this (one line commented out):

AddType application/xhtml+xml .html

#AddType application/xhtml+xml .php

Addhandler x-httpd-php441 .php
