China Mobile's Mobile Market apparently goes live ahead of schedule

Its website is still showing a Coming Soon page for us, but the Wall Street Journal is reporting via Hong Kong -- China Mobile's hometown -- that the world's largest carrier's app store is now live. The service, which offers the usual array of apps and media that you'd expect of any self-respecting fee-based carrier content deck, is said to support some ten handsets out of the gate from Nokia, Samsung, and LG. Mysteriously missing from that list is anything that'd be running OMS, though we suppose that makes sense since the first OPhones aren't coming to market in an official capacity until next month.

China Mobile's Mobile Market site goes live, sort of


A site channeling 480 million subscribers into a single mobile app and content store would seem like one of the world's most lucrative properties, so naturally, there are a lot of eyes focused on China Mobile right now as it gets ready to launch its Mobile Market venture. The store's site is sort of live now, though it appears to be in a pre-release testing phase with broken links all over the place; the carrier officially says that the service will be available in September, so we'd look to that date before the full force of half a billion individuals gets unleashed on the site. Combine this with an Android-based OPhone or two, and we're totally in.
