China Mobile is working on creating its own mobile OS based on Google Android
Chinese mobile operator China Mobile is working on creating its own mobile OS based on Google Android .
The new operating system will appear on the market in the near future. It will be installed on phones with the working name Ophone. The first such phones will be available in the first quarter of 2009. According to rumors, for their production, China Mobile collaborates with a number of mobile phone manufacturers, one of which is the Chinese Lenovo.
Google’s Android operating system has become a natural choice as an alternative, since China Mobile is also listed as a member of the Open Handset Alliance. Using the services of HTC, the Chinese operator has every chance to carry out the planned release of a smartphone running Android before the end of this year.
