Regardless, from what we understand, Xiaomi could partner with Chunghwa Telecom to offer the Xiaomi Phone 2 in Taiwan, whereas in Hong Kong it might use the customary online direct sale design to begin with– unlike Meizu who has a physical store in the city, along with a partnership with local carrier PCCW. Now, how about a full schedule for your world domination, Mr. Bouquet?

iPhone 5 launches in mainland China and Taiwan today,

While the iPhone 5′s been out for some time already, it wasn’t until today that our friends in China and Taiwan (along with many other countries) can finally buy the device locally. Since midnight local time, several carriers and shops welcomed customers with balloons, drinks and even musical performance. But in the case of Apple Stores in China, the lines were much shorter than before as interested buyers have to first make an online reservation, before trekking to the stores once they are notified — a policy no doubt welcomed by residents of bitterly cold Beijing at this time of the year. On top of that, both China Unicom and China Telecom are simultaneously offering the iPhone 5 — with WCDMA or CDMA radio, respectively — alongside several tariff options. In China, the unsubsidized iPhone 5 starts from ¥5,288 or about $ 850.

Our brethren in Taipei went to check out the various shops today and saw warm reception for the iPhone 5 launch as well, with Chunghwa Telecom getting the most attention, followed by local resellers Studio A and Data Express. Including tax, the Taiwanese iPhone 5 starts from NT$ 21,900 or about $ 750 unsubsidized. More pics after the break.

Just Mobile talks about Apple product certification, previews its AluRack, AluBase and HeadStand

For the average Joe that have managed to stay out of the Apple circle, the Just Mobile brand might not right away ring a bell, but opportunities are you would’ve stumbled upon one of its peripheral designs at some point. The only issue is unless you knew the business in the first spot, you ‘d quickly presume that the aluminum or even plastic knock-offs are just based on common designs, due to the fact that there are merely a lot of of them. It’s no wonder Just Mobile co-founders Nils Gustafsson and Erich Huang take imitations of all formats really personally (especially the ones they and their lawyers see at CES), however thankfully, we were spared from prolonged ranting when we checked out the duo’s workplace in Taichung, Taiwan just recently. Exactly what we were treated to rather was an insight into how an accessory maker works with Apple and why Just Mobile makes specifically in Taiwan, as well as getting a preview of the upcoming AluRack, HeadStand and AluBase that are due out this month.

Several Apple supporters on the contrary side of the Pacific from Cupertino haven’t had much of a choice to go shopping from iTunes, even though they have actually had the Application Shop for some time. There’s now a much better sense of balance: Apple merely flicked the switch on the iTunes Shop for new music and motion pictures in a dozen countries and territories around the Asia-Pacific area. The company singles out our own Richard Lai’s Hong Kong along with Singapore and Taiwan, but we would certainly be remiss if we didn’t discuss that Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam are additionally getting the media catalogs, that include local content along with the worldwide favorites. It’s a full catch-up also, with iTunes in the Cloud re-downloads and iTunes Match subscriptions accessible in every new nation.

HTC One S shows up in Taiwan with 1.7GHz Snapdragon S3, speed lovers wail

HTC One S for Taiwan with Snapdragon S3

We’d been wondering just where the HTC Ville C would go with its odd mix of a 1.7GHz Snapdragon S3 and the One S’ otherwise sleek hardware. Of all places, it’s HTC’s home turf of Taiwan: although the One S is still branded as the same phone, the usual 28-nanometer, 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 we’ve come to love has been replaced with a high-frequency version of its ancestor. When grilled about the switch by ePrice, HTC insisted that the new version would “provide consumers [with] the same experience.” We’re not so sure after having seen lower Nenamark scores, but we suspect many owners will be too happy with the micro arc oxidized body and rapid-fire camera to notice. All the same, charging NT$ 17,900 ($ 600) for a less efficient take on the same formula makes us wonder if supply for the 28-nanometer S4 didn’t force a swap.
