Motorola to introduce eight OPhones on China Mobile next year, celebrate intensely

Motorola may be pinning its comeback hopes on the CLIQ here in America, but it obviously has some rather large plans for the world's largest carrier, too. An admittedly perplexing report has surfaced purporting that the creator of the iconic i776, er, RAZR, is fixing to distribute not one, not two, but eight OPhones to China Mobile next year. For those unaware, OPhone is an Android-based OS tailor made to operate on the aforesaid carrier and cater to its customers, and to date, quite a few other manufacturers have jumped on board over there. Sadly, no actual details about the eight Moto handsets were given, so it looks like it's just you, a cup of joe and your hyperactive imagination for the time being.

Bootleg iPhone

=> Linux => Android => oPhone
=> BSD Unix => freeBSD Kernel + Nextstep => darwin => OSX => iPhone

the oPhone sure doesn't even have the same os lineage as the iPhone so how is it bootleg, it would be a bootleg android but iPhone it isn't...

Interface looks familiar, oh year identical to ANDROID...

That's because it is running Android. Android is Open Source and thus free for anyone to use!

This is a good thing, Android is in another billion person market. India is getting Android phones too!

That's just more apps and more devs for us!
