The Uphone will get its own version of the Android OS, called UniPlus, as well as its own Uphone app store. The app store will likely open before the first handsets ship in order to give developers a head start on populating the virtual she... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/27/china.unicom.says.uphone.app.store.coming/ Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/dell.mini.3i.ships.with.unfair.edge/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/dellmini3i-china.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell's Mini 3i is shipping to China with a possible unfair competitive advantage against the iPhone. The Android phone should be available by the end of the month through China Mobile's retail partners and later through Dell's own site. As expected, it will drop 3G and Wi-Fi due to the government-backed carrier's preferences but will still have a 640x360 capacitive touchscreen, GPS, Bluetooth an... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/dell.mini.3i.ships.with.unfair.edge/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/18/korean.iphone.may.arrive.on.november.28th/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/iphone-1.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The path is now clear for South Korean iPhone sales, reports note. The Korea Communications Commission has granted Apple a license to run location-based services in the country, long a major obstacle to entering the market. Korean cellphones are subject to such restrictions in order to manage privacy violations; with the iPhone, concern is mainly said to have revolved around Google Maps, and the... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/18/korean.iphone.may.arrive.on.november.28th/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/13/dell.mini.3.confirmed.for.brazil.china/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/dellmini3.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell today formally entered the smartphone race by launching the Mini 3. The full-touchscreen phone depends on a customized version of Android and will have different features based on the region. While most details aren't available, the China Mobile version will be limited to EDGE data but use the government-supported OPhone interface and app store. Other countries should get localized 3G and ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/13/dell.mini.3.confirmed.for.brazil.china/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/27/nokia.intros.first.td.scdma.handset.for.china/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/nokia6788.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Nokia on Tuesday showed off its first handset to support China's native 3G standard, TD-SCDMA. The Nokia 6788 was developed in conjunction with China Mobile, the country's biggest wireless provider, and sports a 2.8-inch display with 320x240 resolution and is considered smartphone-grade through its use of Symbian S60. There is also a 5-megapixel camera with a dual-LED flash.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/27/nokia.intros.first.td.scdma.handset.for.china/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/06/dells.smartphone.may.be.upgraded.for.us/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0910/dellmini3i-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />An apparent scoop suggests Dell has decided to bring its Mini 3i to the US after all, but not in its original form. A contact claims it's due in the "next few months" but that it will be an upgraded version of what was shown recently in China. Build quality should improve, but it would also upgrade from a 3-megapixel camera to a 5-megapixel model.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/06/dells.smartphone.may.be.upgraded.for.us/ Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/02/auo.to.cut.e.reader.prices.in.half/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/sonyreaderpocketedition.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />AU Optronics (AUO) said on Friday that it hopes to slash the price of e-book readers in half within two years. The Taiwan area company explained to FT that it hopes to use its experience in making LCDs, as well as the sheer scale of its production, to make the e-paper displays affordable enough that they can lead to much less expensive hardware. A $150 reader could be available in 2010, while a ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/02/auo.to.cut.e.reader.prices.in.half/ Fri, 02 Oct 2009 11:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/11/iphone.in.china.a.starting.gun/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0909/iphone3gs-chinasm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The launch of the iPhone in China could be instrumental to the growth of smartphones in the entire world, according to an estimate by iSuppli. The threat of an officially sanctioned iPhone on China Unicom is believed to be a "starting gun" for China and has already spurred the government-backed carrier China Mobile to introduce its rival Ophone platform, which combines touchscreen phones with a c... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/11/iphone.in.china.a.starting.gun/ Fri, 11 Sep 2009 18:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/09/01/china.mobile.iphone.talks/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0908/chinamobilelogo.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />China Mobile is indeed still in talks with Apple regarding the iPhone, a spokeswoman for the carrier says. The disclosure follows an Apple admission on Monday, stating that a three-year deal with China Unicom is not exclusive, in theory allowing for increased competition.
