Best iPhone Market

News that Apple was talking with China’s largest mobile carrier, China Mobile, sent apple’s stock soaring 11.2% this afternoon [Tuesday]. An executive from China Mobile said that they had not made any concrete progress with Apple yet, but noted that both companies hope to bring the iPhone to the world’s largest developing market as soon as possible.

Many analysts say that the prospect of the iPhone entering the Chinese market yields endless possibilities for the company. The potential market size there is huge, and would be equivalent to another AT&T. The increase is stock price is probably warranted given the potential for Apple in the Chinese market, although many feel the large jump in share price wasn’t justified.

By now, I’m sure everyone has heard about google’s new phone although we haven’t yet written a full story on it here at iPhoneNews.ca. Google’s phone will be linux based, unlike the Apple iPhone which runs off Apple’s propritary software. The question that many are asking is how secure will the google phone be given that it is based on open source software?

Obviously nothing can be perfect, we have already seen many wireless security issues with Apple’s iPhone. A large percentage of the phones in Japan are Linux based, and security problems have been minimized. Security flaws can continue to be minimized as long as developers look at security as something that is mandatory and not something that is an option.
