 - Keitai (pronounced k-tie) is a Japanese term that refers, in general, to cellular telephone sets and their associated hardware, programming, and services. The term has acquired cultural significance (even a fad status) in Japan, especially among young people.
Examples of keitai include portable cellular telephones with the capability to transmit and receive e-mail, surf the Web, and play interactive games online. Global Positioning System (GPS) devices and other wireless navigational systems in cars are also examples of keitai.
