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.
