Dell is in talks with the world’s biggest mobile carrier China Mobile to offer a smartphone based on the carrier’s mobile operating system.
The China Mobile OS, known as Open Mobile System (OMS), is based on Google’s Android but will include China Mobile applications like the firm’s instant messaging client.
OMS will support China Mobile’s next-generation mobile network that is expanding coverage beyond major cities this year. The network’s standard was developed in China and is called TD-SCDMA (Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access).
