Apple iPhone 3G appears on China Unicom website

Tuesday, March 24, 2009 - 01:15 PM EDT

Apple's iPhone 3G has appeared on China Unicom's official website:

www.sh.chinaunicom.com/3G/4/4_1.html

MacDailyNews reader Michael Li explains, "It's a China Unicom 3G devices introduction page, other handsets in the list include HTC G1, SE X1, Nokia N97, all WCDMA devices. "

Owen Fletcher reports for IDG News Service, "The information (in Chinese), which listed smartphones supported by the 3G network China Unicom is building, appeared only on the Web site of the company's Shanghai branch and did not say whether the products would be offered in China."

"The site's changes follow media reports that a China Unicom delegation visiting Apple last week made a breakthrough in talks over offering the iPhone 3G on its network," Fletcher reports. "A spokeswoman for the company's headquarters said she did not know why the information was on the Web site. China Unicom's regional branches are fairly independent."

Fletcher reports, "China Unicom is expected to launch trials in May for its 3G network based on the Wideband Code Division Multiple Access standard, which is popular outside China and supported by both the iPhone 3G and the G1."

@Ampar

You can say that again!

It's supposed to be "BOOM!"

But when I translated it back, it says, "BANG!"

Good enough! I'm glad they stopped dragon their feet.

Somewhere around corporate offices in Redmond, Silicon Valley, and Canada, screams and loud thrashing sounds can be heard.

Probably explains why AAPL is up while others are seeing profit taking today.

I looked, it looks to me based upon the list of devices, they are just promoting their new 3G network, not necessarily the devices they'll have to sell.

轰 pronounced hong.

According to my little red dictionary, that is bang or boom. It can also be used as "hoot", as in to hoot off a stage.

Thanks, KenC.

Mar 24, 09 - 05:31 pm Comment from: LateRegistrant

In that case, I'll second that hong and raise you a hoot.

Whatever.

What does the "com" in Unicom stand for, anyways?

"What does the "com" in Unicom stand for, anyways?"
