This morning, Baidu – at its annual Baidu World event in Beijing – launched its Android-based mobile OS, dubbed Baidu Yi (pictured above).

As it builds upon Google’s Android OS, it’ll have all the same core features, such as integrated voice search. But of course Baidu also has lots of its own apps ready for Baidu Yi – there’ll be Maps, Yue (a reader app), Shen Bian (like Google Places), and Ting (its music app).

Keeping in view the Chineese Market Baidu Yi OS will become one of the major competitor in Mobile OS business as currently Huawei one of the leading Telecom Equipment Manufacturer of China has become world 2nd supplier of equipment and handsets like Huawei Vision and Huwei Honor will give them a major boost to enter any market in the world.
