China develops its own mobile operating system
Known as China Operating System, or COS, the new operating system is said to be more secure than other mobile platforms such as iOS and Android. It was unveiled last week by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Liantong Network Communications Technology.
The operating system appears to be based on Android, despite claims from Chinese officials that it was developed completely in China.
COS is said to be able to support Java apps, HTML 5 websites and be compatible with more than 100,000 apps.
There are no COS phones for sales yet, but China Mobile and China Telecom are said to be testing devices.
