The Apple iPhone isn't going to China Mobile anytime soon

Talks between China Mobile Ltd. and Apple Inc. over the launch of iPhone handsets in China have been called off, officials at the Chinese company said Monday.

“We can only say that negotiations have ended for now. We have no other news to report,” said Li Honghui, a spokeswoman for China Mobile Communications Corp., the parent of cell phone carrier China Mobile. She declined to comment further

What can they be disagreeing on? Perhaps they’re not that impressed with the international performance of the iPhone around the world…

The official said China Mobile was unwilling to accept Apple’s request for a 20 percent to 30 percent share of China Mobile’s user fees from future iPhone users, according to the report.

Or then again, maybe that’s a pretty good explanation…
