Despite the fact that China Mobile doesn't have an agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone, its network counts 10 million iPhones users, as the company reported this morning via Reuters.
With 630 million customers, those 10 million iPhone users are just a drop in the bucket. But they do tell a lot about how much China wants the iPhone...

Nyan Cat fans rejoice. Now, not only can you get Nyan Cat sliders to replace your stock iOS sliders, you can now place a Nyan Cat directly in Notification Center.
Some will undoubtedly hate this, while others will be mightily amused. Which camp do you belong to?
Either way, you owe it to yourself to check out NCNyanCat, at least once...
Quickly switching between pages and apps via Notification Center is now possible, and WeeSpaces is the jailbreak widget that makes it so.
WeeSpaces is a widget that places links to all of your running apps and SpringBoard pages directly in Notification Center.

The built in dictionary is probably one of my favorite new features in iOS 5. It's so incredibly handy, and it can be used across any app at any time.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could search Google in the same way? Well now you can, thanks to DictGoogle — a new tweak that integrates seamlessly with iOS 5's built in dictionary...
Dag Kittlaus, co-founder and former CEO of the Siri company that was recently bought by Apple, has left the project he helped start at the height of its glory. As reported by All Things D, Kittlaus's departure had been planned for quite some time.
Although Kittlaus leaves at a peculiar time, he apparently parted ways with Apple on friendly terms. Siri will continue to be developed by what is purportedly the largest team at Apple...
WeeSearch is a recently released Notification Center jailbreak widget for iOS 5, which allows for YouTube, Google, and Wikipedia searches right from the convenience of Notification Center.
It's free, and it works to a certain extent, but it's obvious that the widget was rushed in its development. It's missing a few fundamental features, and not everything works as expected.
Check inside for a full rundown on what's good and bad about WeeSearch...
You've always been able to name your iDevice in iTunes by plugging it in and clicking on its name in the sidebar to edit. With the introduction of iOS 5 and the PC-free mentality, you don't need to do that anymore.
Apple has made it even simpler to rename your device by letting you do it directly from your iPhone, iPod, or iPad...
We've all wanted to order a new Apple product online, but have not wanted to wait for it to via companies like UPS. Wouldn't it be much easier if we could just place an order and then go to a local store to pick it up?
If a MacRumors source is to be believed, we could be doing just that at some point in the near future, with the trial program known as 'Sherwood' getting underway.
The system, the report claims, will include any product currently available via the online Apple Store, including built-to-order Macs and engraved iPods...
Here's a pretty useful little iOS tweak, especially if you've got kids who like to go tapping icons on your iPhone, with little regard for your saved game progress or super-important work document you've been editing.
Just as AppLocker's name might suggest, this $0.99 tweak adds a new pane to Settings.app, in which a password lock can be added to all your iOS applications, meaning they won't launch unless you know the special word.
That's all fine and dandy, but AppLocker goes one step further than that...
Apple today took a hammer to its curent lineup of iPad 2 Smart Covers, discontinuing one color and adding another. The rest of the lineup has also been given a minor makeover, according to MacRumors.
The move comes alongside a silent MacBook Pro refresh, with Apple choosing not to make an announcement about the changes to either product.
Smart Covers have proven popular amongst iPad 2 owners who want to protect their giant 9.7" screen without adding the unwanted bulk of a full-on case. These changes refresh the six-month old colors, while also making the interior of all Smart Covers the same color as the exterior – a change that should have been made before they ever went on sale! The Product RED cover is still two-tone, though...
BigBoss has pushed an update to the semitethered jailbreak that brings multiple bug fixes and speed improvements. Version 0.7.9 of SemiTether is available in Cydia now for folks on iOS 5 that have jailbroken with a tool like RedSn0w.
The SemiTether jailbreak is being improved to make it a more viable contender to a full untethered jailbreak. BigBoss is working with saurik to improve his jailbreak alongside a mobile substrate Cydia update.
