What is an i-
α
ppli?
By downloading i-
α
ppli programs from sites, you
can make it more useful and enjoyable to use
your i-mode-compatible FOMA terminal (i-mode
terminal). For example, you can download a
range of games to an i-mode terminal and play
them or download an i-
α
ppli that provides stock
market information and allows you to automati-
cally check stock prices at set intervals. There
are also a mapping i-
α
ppli that allow you to
download only the information you need so that
scrolling is quick and smooth. There are other
i-
α
ppli programs of which you can store data
from the i-
α
ppli directly into the phonebook or
schedule, or which is linked to Data box when
saving or downloading images.

What is an i-
α
ppli DX?
i-
α
ppli DX programs link up with the information on
your i-mode terminal (such as mails, the Dialed/
Received calls record and phonebook data) to make
the i-
α
ppli programs even more enjoyable and easier
to use. This includes allowing you to compose mails
on your favorite cartoon character screen, having a
cartoon character tell you from who a call or mes-
sage has come, and linking up with mail functions to
provide real-time updates on the progress of games
or essential information such as share prices.
