Macau - The CEO of China Mobile, that country's largest mobile network, revealed on Tuesday that the company is in talks with Apple (NASD: AAPL) to distribute the iPhone in China, although no deal is in place and revenue-sharing issues are still being discussed, IDG News Service reported.

"Our customers like this kind of fashionable product," Wang Jianzhou, China Mobile's CEO, told IDG at the GSM Association's Mobile Asia Congress in Macau.

China Mobile counts around 350 million subscribers -- almost 1.5 the size of the entire U.S. market.

Wang said that China Mobile's existing mobile music service has over 60 million users, and has sold more than 240 million ringtones.
