Not Another Mobile Phone Blog

Since ages Chinese government freaks out when its citizens access the Internet without any restrictions. Now to control the access of Internet by mobile phones users, the government is planning that the iPhone, which is soon going to come in China will have no Wi-Fi functionality. WTF man, iPhone or iPod Touch without Wi-Fi is like having a high-end machine gun without any real bullets. Wi-Fi is one of the main features of these two sexy multi-touch devices and not having it is foolish. Anyway, these efforts of the Chinese government's red tapism are futile as the Chinese market is already flooded with iPhones that have made their way through the gray market and if Apple and the Chinese government get iPhones with no Wi-Fi (totally modified hardware), the rate of people going for gray market iPhones will anyway rise. Both China Unicom and China Mobile are the probable operators who might be bringing the iPhone in China.
