Google brings Gmail to mobile phones in Japan [tech.co.uk]

From September, subscribers to KDDI 's au network will be able to use a rebranded version of Gmail on both handsets and PCs. While Gmail can already be used on multiple platforms, the new service will be known as 'au one mail' and will come free of charge.

This is a major move for Google as e-mail is the 'killer app' for Japanese phones. E-mail is often more used than voice in Japan.

AU is really trying hard. I love the competition. Just wish my mail address was portable.
