Of course. Since cHTML is an extended subset of HTML, you can use your Netscape or IE browser to look at i-mode pages. However, (a) you will need a Japanese enabled browser because at the moment almost all i-mode users are Japanese and therefore most i-mode content is in that language; (b) you will not be able to see i-mode-only tags (such as the links that dial a telephone connection directly from the i-mode handset in Japan; and (c) you will not be able to see the many special DoCoMo-i-mode symbols, which will usually be replaced by a question mark. Therefore, looking at an i-mode page with an ordinary PC-based browser will give you an idea, but will not exactly reproduce what i-mode users see on their handsets.
