Customized HTC Magic coming to China Mobile

dopod-g2.jpg China Mobile probably won't be seeing an iPhone in its lineup anytime soon, but it has confirmed that its customers will be seeing a customized version of the sexy HTC Magic. The Android OS-based smartphone will be getting a China Mobile-centric makeover before it arrives on our shores - hopefully that makeover will keep the awesome open-source Android app store. While we're not sure exactly when it'll be available in China, it's rumored to be hitting Taiwan around April.
