Kevin Hall at Dvice writes a small but good article talking about China Unicom and Apple having signed a partnership in order to sell Iphones in China. What Kevin states is that China Unicom will buy the headsets as wholesales and will have the right to decide the content being shown (full article at http://dvice.com/archives/2009/08/does-china-real.php).
I think that Apple move, on an economic point of view only, is a smart move, because of the big market is entering.
On the fact of having a less rich Iphone, I remain on my position that those who will have the IPhone for benefiting of all functions will be far less than those buying it “because is glamour”.
What doesn’t surprise me but seems incoherent is that Apple rejects Google Voice app because changes user experience, but when China Unicom cuts some content is accepted.
1.2 Billion potential users are a new frontier that cannot be ignored, also if some exceptions have to be made.
