<p></p><p>As the iPhone bandies around the world, many Wall Street analysts have been wondering when China Mobile would be invited to join the likes of O2, T-Mobile and Orange to the exclusive iPhone party.</p><p>Well, according to dBTechno, it might be <a href="http://www.dbtechno.com/phones/2008/03/03/apple-china-mobile-ready-to-talk-iphone-yet-again/">sooner than we think</a>.</p>

<p>As exciting as this news could be for Apple, what with 350 some odd million China Mobile customers helping reach Steve Jobs imposed <a href="http://www.intomobile.com/2008/02/28/apple-were-on-target-to-sell-10-million-iphone-by-the-end-of-the-year.html">10 million iPhone goal</a>, there are potential pitfalls that could stagnate the deal. For one, the price point might be out of reach for the average Chinese citizen who would have to make 2 month’s salary to even purchase an iPhone. And that’s not even counting foreign carrier’s <a href="http://phonedifferent.com/2008/03/o2_ireland_ceo_defends_lack_of.html">exorbitant and limited data costs</a>.</p>

<p>But with a reported <a href="http://www.news.com/8301-13579_3-9873327-37.html?tag=nefd.top">400,000 unlocked iPhones</a> currently in use on China Mobile (not even counting all the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/meizu-m8-mini-one-vs-iphone-fight/">knock-offs</a>), there is undoubtedly a market for iPhones. And to imagine the possibilities of a real live, breathing, fingerprint free iPhone in the hands of 350 million ready-to-buy consumers has got to make Apple stockholders <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120456204996507803.html?mod=googlenews_wsj">seeing green.</a></p>
