China Mobile and Google working on 'OPhone'

[living_sword]

China Mobile, one of the founding members of OHA, has been working closely with Google to release phones based on Android, code-name 'OPhone'. OPhone will support China's homegrown 3G standard - TD-SCDMA, though Wifi will probably not make it.

This is not as interesting for those of us outside China, but if you look at it from a different perspective, China Mobile has been butting heads with Apple over iPhones's 3G and Wifi, but no conclusion has been reached so far and mainstream chinese users continue to use frivolous iPhone knock-offs. On the other hand, Google has jumped ahead of Apple and are well on their way to the chinese market of over 600 million mobile users.

China Mobile is moving fast with the phone's development, which means it could be out by year-end or early next year.

On a side note, Lenovo is reported to be working on several Android-y products.
