China Unicom Still Cannot Confirm iPhone

Recent reports indicated that China Unicom would be getting Apple’s iPhone, and who wouldn’t think so, especially since they boldly put up images of the iPhone. Now it seems that the company’s chairman, Chang Xiaobing, states that negotiations are still ongoing, and they still have a couple of issues left to sort out. 2 of the main problems that they face are the Chinese law banning Wi-Fi use in mobile phones, and Unicom’s stubborn insistence of installing its own software for the iPhone, which supposedly has some non-iTunes media player. There’s no telling how long this debate will go on for. Speculation hints that it may not be until the end of the year till all the nitty gritty details are thrashed out.
