Few days ago it was reported that Apples officials are negotiating with China Mobile the launch of iPhone.

China Mobile or CMCC, represents the largest mobile phone operator from China, as well the largest mobile phone operator in the world if ranked by the number of subscribers, which is about 349.66 million. China Mobile is owned by the People’s Republic of China government and it has more than 119,000 employees.

But today a Chinese newspaper the Southern Daily reported that the two companies were unable to reach an agreement.

Quoting unnamed sources, the Southern Daily said the talks were abandoned because the differences the companies have over revenue sharing.

But Bloomberg said China Mobile denied the newspaper report and it is still in discussions with Apple.

Earlier this month, China Unicom, the second largest Chinese mobile carrier, said that they would be open to talks with Apple, but they are not in any discussions with Apple.

Meanwhile, a Hamburg court adjourned until Monday a hearing on Deutsche Telekom's appeal of a temporary injunction won earlier this month in Germany by Vodafone.

Apple has sold so far 1,29 million iPhone until September 29 and the company intends to launch the device in Asia sometimes in 2008.
