KEITAIALL: Specs on all Japanese Mobiles
matsui-san has written a new blog post on ke-tai.org, describing KEITAIALL, a service for viewing technical specs for Japanese mobile phones. I'm a fan of the site's simple and clean design, that allows you to view information about handsets at a glance, or search for a specific model.
The information provided includes:
- Carrier
- Model Name
- Manufacturer
- Sale Name
- Series
- First Day of Sale
- Browser Version
- Generation (2G/3G)
- Cache
- Screen Width
- Flash Version
- Ranking According to Share
matsui-san ponders about the licensing of this data, and points out that you can view all the data in xml by visiting http://keitaiall.jp/inc/choice.xml. If developers are free to use and adapt this data as they choose, it could be a great boon to developers.
