Google's Android mobile phone (operating) system is set to make its (legal) debut in China next month when China Mobile launches specially adapted handsets.

Taiwan-based handest manufacturer HTC said China Mobile would start (selling) a customised version of the HTC Magic, a handset based on Google's Android operating system, (through) its stores.

Analysts believe that a successful launch of a high-end (handset) for China Mobile subscribers could help remove hurdles to the entry of similar handsets (such as) the iPhone into the country – the world's largest mobile market.

Apple has negotiated for months with China Unicom, China Mobile's smaller (rival), to introduce the iPhone to China, but industry executives say regulators have sought to hold back an agreement until China Mobile has a (device) that would allow it to compete for 3G customers.

Android-based handsets and iPhones have long been (available) in China through “grey imports” – consumers can buy the G1, a phone custom-made for Deutsche Telekom (by) HTC, and the iPhone in any electronics retail chain. But (none) of these sales are strictly legal as China bans WiFi handsets from its market unless they are also compatible with WAPI, a local wireless standard. Also, consumers cannot get these handsets (directly) through their mobile operators, and the operators cannot subsidise them.

The Chinese government hopes to balance the big three mobile operators – China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom – (against) each other as they roll out 3G services following the issue of licenses in January.
