China Unicom to fetch iPhone 3G in August?
Chalk this one up as just another rumor for now, but whispers around the Chinese web have it that China Unicom could be netting Apple's latest handset (yeah, that 3G one) this August. If you'll recall, Steve had issues in the past getting Chinese carriers to buy into his demanding revenue sharing model, but now that those days are gone, we suspect talks may go a little smoother. And c'mon, Apple didn't add in Chinese character recognition for kicks and giggles, now did it? As of now, China Mobile has yet to make a peep on the rumblings, but we've only got a few months before finding out either way.[Via IntoMobile]

Well, I thought they (Unicom) had already denied that one.
Though no official launch here, there's report says that there are more than 600 thousands iPhone in the China Mobile network.

I don't think China Mobile will be interested since they use the home-grown 3G standard TDSCDMA. So I'm pretty sure it's gonna be Unicom.

Umm, they added Chinese characters for Hong Kong and Singapore too. :P
