Despite Google Taking on Censorship, Sony Ericsson Has No Qualms About a Chinese Android Launch

Google may've delayed the Chinese launch of Android phones from Motorola and Samsung, but Sony Ericsson sees no problem with wading into the censorship row between the big G and big C. They're launching their Android phone there in spring! More »

Why Apple Will Probably Keep Doing Business With Foxconn After iPhone Leak Death

Perspective on the iPhone Suicide: Guy Died Over a F*&#ing PHONE

Let's step back from the iPhone leak suicide for a minute and just think about the basics of what happened. A phone was lost. A guy was tortured. A guy killed himself or something. Over a fucking phone. More »

Apple's Massive Shanghai Store Mixes Minimalism and Classic Chinese Architecture

Though expected to open its doors this fall, mockups of Apple's Shanghai store have already leaked. We love architect Ben Wood's mix of Apple's glass-and-steel minimalism with more traditional Chinese shapes and materials. [via Cult of Mac]

iPhone 2.0 Firmware Will Have Handwriting Recognition, Go to Japan and China?

A blog on the Wretch.cc network (kinda like a Chinese blogspot) has screens from the Chinese version of iPhone's 2.0 firmware, detailing the new handwriting recognition. If it's real, which it seems to be, the new firmware will let people draw in characters with their fingers, then pick the closest approximation among choices that pop up. More »

Microsoft's Limited Edition Xbox 360 For Chinese New Year - Because Nothing Says Chinese New Year Like Halo 3

We're not sure how well the Xbox 360 is doing in China, but Microsoft's cashing in on this whole Chinese New Year business by throwing out a limited edition Chinese New Year Xbox. The box is colored red, which Chinese people like, but includes Halo 3, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to us. If we were designing a game to include with this box, we'd do something like Viva Pinata, which is kinda festive, or Boom Boom Rocket, which has a whole lot of fireworks. Killing aliens may be fun, but it doesn't scream welcome to the Year of the Rat. [CNET Asia]

Gizmodo Salutes the Rat: Happy Chinese New Year!

Not only are we smart, charming and pretty here at Gizmodo, we are also fantastically cultured. As the Chinese New Year is upon us, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all those celebrating it a smashing new year. As ~~a Chinese restaurant placemat~~ our research informs us, the Chinese calendar cycles every twelve years, with each year representing a different animal. Tonight rings in the Year of the Rat, and in tribute to our respected rodent, we've got a special rattus gadget roundup. Jump in for that priceless, Indiana-Jones-in-the-sewer feeling. More »
