History

OPhone is a Linux-based smartphone software platform developed by China Mobile and based on the Android operating system developed by Google. OPhone is based on open source software and mobile internet technologies. For end-users, OPhone aims to provide cheap, low frills, entry-level smartphone access and a limited mobile internet experience using China Mobile's proprietary TD-SCDMA network, and its GSM network.

Software development

China Mobile consecutively released the 1.0 and 1.5 versions of the OPhone SDK for public use.[6][7]

China Mobile recently released the 2.0 version of the SDK for public use. According to a Google translated version of China Mobile's release,[8] this iteration may include support for the Windows Mobile API framework.[9][10]

As of April 2010 around 600 apps have been developed specifically for OPhones.[11]

Future plan

Although there are rumours that China Mobile and Borqs will discontinue the development of OPhone.[12][13] China Mobile and Borqs will stick to the OPhone development, OPhone 2.5 is the next release, which will be released at the end of 2010.[14][15]
