DoCoMo takes active role in phone development with 3G platform

NTT DoCoMo has released a “common software platform for its third-generation FOMA devices”. There is little information here about whether handset manufacturers appreciate being told exactly what to put on their devices – I guess it depends on how they view their business. “DoCoMo’s software platform covers phone middleware, customized modules, sample device drivers, sample application software, a handset emulator for computer design and development, as well as documentation and guidelines for applications, drivers and other aspects.”
