by Glenn Santos on Sep 10, 2011 2 Comments">2
Baidu, the Chinese counterpart of Google search, has announced of its plans to create its own OS for its consumers. Although it has already replaced Google apps and services on Android phones in China, the company is targeting a new OS that will follow the formatting and style of the Android OS. Baidu said they will compete against Google Places with their own Maps, provide consumers with an ebook reader app that’s similar with the Apple’s iBooks, and its own music player. The company is also planning to add apps with a Chinese character input tool to cater their …

by Susan Ellery on Dec 09, 2009 0 Comments">0
We saw the Motorola MT710 last month when detailed specifications on this Android OPhone-powered handset were revealed. The MT710 is chock full of features, including a 3.7 inch capacitive FWVGA touchscreen, a Marvell PXA310 624MHz processor, 3G connectivity via China’s new TD-SCDMA standard, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, WiFi, a 5MP camera with autofocus and dual LED flash, and CMMB mobile TV support. Looking very much like a keyboard-less DROID, the MT710 will run the OPhone OS 1.5 and is slated to launch with China Mobile on December 28th. Any of our Chinese readers out there going to be ringing in the New …
Dell Mini 3iX to lack Android Market?
by Chuck Zich on Dec 02, 2009 4 Comments">4
The folks at Zumo Blog have recently obtained more information about Dell’s Mini 3iX Android device and, shockingly, Dell is planning to omit the Android Market from the phone. Instead, Director of retail for Dell Latin America, Scott Schillington, has confirmed that they are opting to allow for direct downloads from developers and integration of their own version of an application store. The 3iX will be sold in Brazil before it launches in the U.S. so we should get to see the consumer reaction to Dell’s decision before U.S. customers take the plunge. This phone passed the FCC about a …

Thanks to PConline, we saw an unboxing of the to-be-released Dell Mini 3i. Now set for China Mobile ‘later this month’, all we were left wondering is the exact specification sheet and price of this device. Well half of our curiosities are now answered.

Although we’re not sure of the price yet, the tablet device shall offer a stylus and measure in at 58.35 x 122 x 11.7cm. A …
Motorola MT710 to run OMS platform in China
by James Tromans on Nov 13, 2009 1 Comments">1
Out in China, Android is getting ripped apart and resealed with special Asian ingredients that when combined create the OPhone OMS platform; an Android based customized mobile OS with a UI similar to the iPhone. Who would have thought that Dell and now Motorola are hopping on the bang-wagon? Say hello to the Motorola MT710 OPhone, as advertised on China Mobile. Although second in line to Lenovo to use the OS, this device certainly looks nice. Sporting a 3.7-inch WVGA (845x480px) touchscreen that may be capable of offering multi-touch support, we think it will grab quite a lot of attention. …

by James Tromans on Aug 31, 2009 0 Comments">0
The LG GW880 smartphone is due for release on China Mobile very soon, and is packing the OPhone OS. China Mobile’s OPhone OS offers the company’s mobile software store, called Mobile Market, and is based on Android, but looks fairly similar to the iPhone’s operating system. The good news for developers is that the software development kit for the OPhone is also compatible with the Android SDK and furthermore, applications developed for Android will work just fine on the OPhone platform with the same API. Looking at the technical side of things, the LG GW880 will support China’s 3G network, …

It appears that some poor quality photos of the new Dell mini3i for China have surfaced. The photo at the right comes from CNBeta.com (via Cloned in China), which also has a photo of the back of the device that shows the Dell logo. The quality of that pic, however, is even worse… The story appears to claim that the phone will go on sale on August 31. BoyGeniusReport has also posted what it claims are a few live (and extremely blurry) photos of the mini3i. On top of the photos, however, the site has also posted a spec list …

Android is heading to China Mobile via HTC
by James Tromans on May 26, 2009 0 Comments">0
According to Peter Chou, Chief Executive of HTC, China is soon to experience Android; big news for Google’s operating system. Allegedly, China Mobile will offer a customised version of the HTC Magic, called the OPhone. Stepping all over Lenovo, HTC’s OPhone is aptly named due to its association with the Open Handset Alliance. This device will give Android access to nearly 500 million subscribers. It goes without saying that China Mobile is the world’s largest mobile operator, but when you have a population of 1.3 billion people, you might think that’s not saying so much. But think again, as China …

by Michael Oryl on Mar 18, 2009 0 Comments">0
Chinese site IT168.com has posted a series of live photos of the new HTC Sapphire based smartphone that is heading to China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile network. The interesting part of the device is how the user interface has been tweaked. It has a very different look to it, and you can even see a few icons that appear to have been ripped off from the Apple iPhone. This TD-SCDMA based 3G version of the Sapphire could end up being called the Dopod G2. Dopod is the brand that HTC markets under in Asia. You’ll find more photos after …
