iPhone nearing China launch?

Thursday, November 13, 2008 - 09:52 PM EST

"A single listing on the Apple's career pages suggests the company has pledged itself to releasing the iPhone in China, one of its most elusive markets," Aidan Malley reports for AppleInsider.

"The posting made Thursday for an iPhone Quality Assurance Engineer in Beijing doesn't try to mask its likely role," Malley reports. "Apple is looking to 'to focus on international releases of our iPhone and iPod touch products for Beijing,' it reads."

"Apple chief Steve Jobs has said he hoped to launch iPhone in China and Russia by the end of 2008, and has already achieved this last goal with a three-carrier deal. No progress updates have been given since then; with the new job listing, though, Apple may have provided the first signs of clearing an impasse," Malley reports.

I wonder if China has already created a knock-off product to roll out the week after? And now with this announcement we will see AAPL stock drop yet again - not.

Charlie
If a knockoff were to push AAPL lower
would it be called a Chinese down syndrome?

Sorry, that should have been
'.....China down syndrome'.

Week after?!? They had a knockoff, the Meizu M8, in the works right after MWSF07!

Chinese are clever what imitation is concerned. A real knockoff would need an extra innovation + a strong certified guarantee, not only a price drop... I guess, so far, Apple will yet be a winner with the iPhone... at least for the next 4-5 years ahead.
The "China down syndrom" would rather concretize if they would sell out their american treasury bounds... that would mean the $ bubble bursting...

Ah yes. The delightful iPhone.
