China Mobile has been tailoring the Google (NSDQ: GOOG)-backed Android operating system to craft its Open Mobile System OS for smartphones. These Ophones will carry China Mobile's branding, as well as carrier-specific applications that deliver news, e-mail, and other services. These smartphones are expected to help boost the adoption of China Mobile's 3G service, which will be using the home-grown TD-SCDMA standard.
