I am not practicing PRC lawyer, so I can't rule on the legality this decision, but I just want to know outright illegality is more difficult thing to establish on the PRC.]]>Jan 28th 2010 3:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/
Google may lose its partnership with China, but he will get the support of the world not to mention human rights activist. This is something that won't be disclosed to the public for sure. Conspiracies: http://bit.ly/google-china-censorship-details

Wait, that's not a rumor. Apple is in bed with Foxconn.

Still, another article about the iPad coming out in China would be nice, even if it was just a rumor.]]>Jan 28th 2010 3:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 29th 2010 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 28th 2010 3:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 28th 2010 3:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 28th 2010 4:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 28th 2010 4:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/
China's "homegrown" wi-fi isn't really wi-fi. The so called "WAPI" is not anything like 802.11, rather the same thing as WEP and WPA. In other words nothing but a new encryption. Aside from this it's 100% good old wifi. And curiously, so many years announcing the WAPI, I've never seen any router with this thingie enabled yet.\

And China's "homegrown" blu-ray isn't really blu-ray. The name CBHD (China Blue High-definition Disc) has a "blue" only for marketing purpose. In the bones (I think) it's 85% good old dead HD-DVD, only slightly altered and granted a fashion-friendly name. And also curiously, I've never seen such discs or players on sale around Beijing yet.

It's easy to roll out some weirdo standards, but quite hard to make people buy that cr*p. :)]]>Jan 28th 2010 5:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 28th 2010 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/
lol...they wish. Nokia still dominates in China. Arm twisting MOTO and Sammy not to release their phones (without keeping them in the loop) might sound good in cocktail party conversation but just imagine the immense amounts of money and effort which went down the drain for these 2 companies just so GOOG could play the good guy. Bad move for GOOG regardless of the good intentions and definitely not a way to inspire confidence in one's partners. GOOG cant afford to act like Apple - they are not as secure as Apple.]]>Jan 28th 2010 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/
I think the PRC misses the point because they are really not seeing it as a corporate swipe, but rather something orchestrated by the White-Deviled American government.]]>Jan 28th 2010 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/
"..delivered a statement affirming China's willingness to allow Android devices to operate within the country without restriction so long as they adhere to the nation's laws."
---- When a government officer, especially those of high level, says something like this, it usually mean "but you are not really adhering to our law right now, so we are screwing you not so publicly."

And actually the guy from MIIT had some extra saying like "China's telecommunication industry is an open market. Meanwhile, every country regulates its telecom market in accordance with its laws."
---- Usually when government speaksperson slings the "open" and "law" terms all around, it means something very bad has happened, with the possibility of worse happening soon.

And as an Android (HTC Dream) user on China Mobile network, I find the DNS request for android.clients.google.com frequently denied (need to manually modify HOSTS file). On China Mobile's GSM/EDGE network, applications requiring network access generally don't work (except for the web browser). I have every reason to believe China isn't completely Android-friendly at all.

There's the motivation. Now China has mutated Androids, namely OPhone (China Mobile) and UPhone (China Telecom). There's a good reason not letting THE Android be too competitive.

Oh my wicked mind what am I talking about]]>Jan 28th 2010 5:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/As a Chinese, I almost agree with you.
BTW, you can try CMNET instead of CMWAP, then other applications can access internet as well, I guess.]]>Jan 28th 2010 5:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 28th 2010 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 28th 2010 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 28th 2010 5:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 28th 2010 9:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/
it's like if someone is expecting you to make an apology and you just sit there silently waiting for *them* to apologize even though they've done nothing wrong

China is basically saying, "we forgive you."]]>Jan 28th 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 28th 2010 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Mar 16th 2010 11:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 31st 2010 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Jan 31st 2010 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://udtekbattery.wordpress.com]]>Feb 1st 2010 1:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/china-says-android-can-stay-misses-googles-point/Mar 25th 2010 1:13AM
