iPhone 3G coming to China Unicom in May?

Good news for folk in China using an iPhone 3G from the States We've been burned so many times before, so we're taking this with a grain of salt - but China Tech News reports that China Unicom has reached an agreement with Apple to bring the iPhone 3G to China by May 2009. If the rumor's correct, then it means that China Unicom will be launching the iPhone the same time it starts up its WCDMA 3G network nation-wide. Apple had allegedly been talking to China Mobile as well, but talks stalled over the tech company's iTunes app business.

    This one makes more sense. China Unicom is the "underdog" wireless carrier in China and would be more willing to concede to Apple having full control of everything. Plus, what better way to introduce their 3G competitor to China Mobile than with the "it" phone of the decade?
