Hasta La Gadget!

It’s not quite selling like hotcakes, but the iPhone’s move to the Chinese market isn’t exactly a dud, either. The handset’s Chinese carrier, Unicom, reported this week that it has moved more than 100,000 units since Apple’s phone first went on sale in that country at the end of October–not bad, considering that initial reports from the country were looking pretty grim.

China is home to more than 700 million mobile subscribers–more than any other nation in the world. Unicom called the number a “great success,” but as PC World points out, it’s nothing compare to South Korea, a much smaller market where mobile users pre-order 60,000 devices.
