China owns iPhone!

Yes, we know they have a lot of copy and replicas there, and this is no exception. A local company by the name Hanwang Technology Co. owns the trademark of "i-phone".

Appla is planning on introducing the God Phone in China next year and has already made an agreement with Chin Unicom, the telecommunications company, but hasn't talked to Hanwang. Apple registered the iPhone in the hardware and software category en 2002, but the chineese company owns the phone category.

By law Apple cannot sell the iPhone unless they get the trademark from Hanwang, or they come up with a deal.

OOPSY! What would Steve Jobs do?
