South Korea’s top mobile operator, SK Telecom, will unveil 12 more smartphone models in February 2010 in response to the iPhone being marketed by its rival. The new models will be based on Google’s Android operating system.
SK’s first model running an Android system will be manufactured by Motorola, while Korean suppliers Samsung and LG will provide nearly 10 Android models.
