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. 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 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…
