|
Tokyo, November 18, 2002 -- KDDI Corp. and Okinawa Cellular, in cooperation with Label mobile Inc.(an operator of mobile phone content sites) will provide the industry's first Ring Tone service "CHAKU-UTA", which allows users to download songs in their original format as released by music distributors, and to set these songs as the ringer tone on mobile phones.
The two companies will also expand on the Photo Mail function, with plans to start a new service that enables users to enjoy videos captured using Movie Mail handsets even on non-Movie Mail handsets and other manufacturers' mobile phones. As part of its new lineup of third-generation mobile phones (CDMA2000 1x), which enable high-speed data communications at up to 144 kbps, KDDI and Okinawa Cellular will begin offering two new MOVIE KEITAI handsets - the A5302CA, made by Casio Computer Co., Ltd., and the A5303H from Hitachi Ltd. - both of which feature built-in digital cameras and are compatible with Movie Mail service. The new handsets are tentatively planned for release in early December. This will bring the total number of MOVIE KEITAI handsets with built-in cameras to three, including the A5301T, which was released in September. The two companies now offer a total of fourteen CDMA200 1x mobile phone handsets.
