Baidu?s New Forked Android Phone: China?s Search Giant Wants To Make Windows Phone, iOS Versions Too

Big mobile plans afoot for Baidu, the Google of China that leads in search and has launched a host of other services in the wake of that business. The company today unveiled the first smartphone to be built on its own platform, the Changhong H5018. And while that device is designed on a "forked" version of Android -- forked Android devices being very popular in China -- Baidu says that it doesn't want to stop there: the idea is to take its platform, the Baidu Cloud Smart Terminal, to other operating systems like Windows Phone and iOS. "We want Baidu's Cloud Smart Terminal to function as a platform that sits on top of all operating systems, such as Windows Phone and iOS,"?Kaiser Kuo, a spokesperson for Baidu, told TechCrunch today.
