TOKYO-The new version of Palm Inc.’s operating system will use the same wireless Internet browser technology that NTT DoCoMo’s i-mode wireless data service uses.
Palm signed a deal with software company Access, which provides the browser for the popular i-mode service and will include the company’s NetFront browser in its new Palm OS version 5. The browser technology works on xHTML and supports JavaScript, Secure Socket Layer and multimedia messaging service technologies.
Access’ NetFront browser is used in over 177 different consumer electronics devices from over 40 manufacturers.
