China Mobile & iPhone: Minor Official Makes Timid Prediction

China Mobile, the world’s No. 1 carrier by subscribers, will launch the iPhone to tap demand for mobile e-mails.

“The iPhone will come to China as early as next year,” was all Fan would said.

Mr. Fan works in China Mobile’s “corporate client division” and made this small aside during what seems to have been a boring interview about bundling services on Blackberries for corporate customers.

Just a snoozer of a story for anyone tracking the iPhone’s China debut.
