Android-Powered Ophone Arriving at China Mobile in May

Could it be that the Ophone will beat the iPhone to China? Certainly looks that way. Latest word is the Android-Powered Ophone and it’s super sexy styling will be released in China this May… and of course, the device will launch on China Mobile (NYSE: CHL). Also worth noting is the fact that the Ophone will run a modified version of Android OS… Built and tweaked by China Mobile. To that end, a few more points as reported by DigiTimes:

China Mobile will outsource production of the Ophone to Lenovo (OTCPK: LNVGY) and LG Electronics (LGE) initially, using chipset solutions most likely from Taiwan-based MediaTek, the paper said, adding that the Ophone will run on China Mobile’s in-house developed Android-based open mobile system (OMS).

So it will be… The Lenovo/LG Ophone. Mark your calendars, the Ophone is coming. Time to give a few of my Chinese friends a heads up…
