  • In case you didn’t know, Chinese carrier China Mobile is not satisfied with just using the plain Android OS, so it has developed the OPhone initiative, customizing Google’s operating system.

    Lenovo O1 should run the fresh OS and it seems that OPhone will be pushed as the standard smartphone platform in China. Of course, since the initiative is only beginning to catch on, developers are getting ready to board the OPhone train, thanks to the SDK that just went gold.

    The OPhone Software Developer Network is the central hub of all development-related activities and a place for developers to get the software, mess with it and interact. China Mobile also provides the needed tools, documentation and community feature for the best programmers.
