While Apple has reportedly already made deals with China Unicom to carry the iPhone starting in the fourth quarter, a new report has the fruity company eyeing China Mobile as a second carrier for the huge country.
PCWorld is reporting that a spokesperson for China Mobile has stated that Apple and the company are currently in talks to carry the iPhone. The plan wouldn't be without two hitches though. China Mobile's demands to have their own App Store and the use of their non-standard, domestically used 3G network could pose problems. China Mobile does support the GPRS standards of the first-gen iPhone.
