Lenovo, the Chinese PC maker that recently bought back Lenovo Mobile from a group of investors, still plans to start selling its Android-powered Lephone handset in China this May, a Lenovo spokesman said. The company is developing other Android phones and does not see any effect on its Android plans from Google's moves in China, he said.
A China Mobile spokeswoman declined to comment when asked if Google's moves had affected its plans for Android.
Samsung and Motorola made the Android phones that were delayed from their launch last week with carrier China Unicom. Motorola has also announced moves including a mobile search deal with Google's Chinese rival Baidu.com that could help it work around business obstacles related to Google.
