Steve Jobs Has Met With China Mobile Several Times to Discuss iPhone

Steve Jobs has met several times with China Mobile to discuss releasing an iPhone for its TDSCMDA network, according to a Reuters report.

China Mobile said it hoped to launch Apple iPhones soon to accelerate uptake of high-end 3G services as it reported first-half profit at the top end of expectations. The world's largest mobile operator by subscribers said it has met with Apple chief executive Steve Jobs several times on introducing an iPhone based on its home-grown TDSCDMA network standard. The companies hope to launch an iPhone as soon as possible, China Mobile's Chairman Wang Jianzhou said, without giving any timeframe.


In June, Apple COO Tim Cook was reportedly spotted at China Mobile's headquarters presumably for discussions on the same matter.
