If Google’s got Android, China Mobile’s got their Open Mobile System (OMS) aka Ophone platform to brag about, and even more so today as it’s now finally hit version 2.0. Yeah, you could argue that it’s still based on the Android OS, but hey, they’ve customized the heck out of it so that they can truly call it an OS of their own. So what’s new with this latest iteration? OMS v2.0 supports voice recognition, Scalable Vector Graphics UI elements, and get this, Windows Mobile API support as well. We’re not quite sure right now what this means as far the future working relationship between Windows Mobile and the OMS platform is concerned. Will Windows Mobile apps run natively on the Ophone or will OMS-friendly versions of Windows Mobile apps be released in the near future? These are just some of the questions we’re waiting to be answered alongside the date as to when it will be released and on what phones it will be featured on.
