[via Mika Tuupola] KEITAI-L [1] is a mailinglist ment for the discussion of current and future web and JAVA(tm) enabled mobile phones with a bias towards the Japanese market. Discussions on technical and marketing issues are welcome.
While having understood the the goal of that list I was still wondering on the meaning of \”keitai\”, since not knowing much about Japanese. So what Google revealed at second place in the result set behind KEITAI-L, was the Keitai Log [2]
an occasional Web diary by a group of Tokyo college students who are researching the changing role of cell phones – keitai – in Japanese society.
Left to mention that one of the writers of the Japanese Media Review is Joi Itos younger sister Mizuko Ito [3]. Small world 😉
