Google has decided to postpone the launch of two Android phones in China, which was supposed to happen on Wednesday, agencies report. Although Google has entered talks with the Chinese government to discuss the future of their its business in China, it's now obvious that, until the situation is resolved, other aspects of Google's business in China will suffer, too.
The news that China Unicom is postponing Android-based phone launches really shows how big the fallout from the Google-China dispute is. It's not only about Google's search business in China. Google also stands behind one of the most important mobile platforms of today: Android, and cutting business ties with China would mean the demise of Android in one of the world's biggest markets.
