Last year it was second only to the US, and it's supposed to grow to at least match that of the US this year. Unfortunately for Microsoft, the market is only yielding 1/20th of the revenue that the US market is. This is in large part due to the fact that approximately 78% of PC software installed in China in 2010 was pirated. More info after the jump! READ MORE>>>

This makes China one of the most voracious micro-blogging nations worldwide, with a greater market share of visits going to microblogging sites in China than in the UK, US, France, Canada, Australia or India. With the knowledge that Sina Weibo have been rolling out new features such as an instant messaging service, and an English UI iPhone app, you should be less surprised by this news. It's now seeming even more likely that Weibo could surpass Twitter by the end of this year. Check out the data after the jump!

Until now though, I'd never seen a supposedly dedicated gaming Android phone that actually had an potential.

If you've been following Gadgets Republic a while you'll have seen me profess my obsession with Anroid, but I never mentioned that I personally own the Samsung Nexus S. If I were allowed to use only one word to describe my feelings for the device, it would be LOVE. Shanzhai developers have finally gotten around to making a knockoff, but the question remains....have they done the original justice? More info about the Nexus S clone after the jump!

Well the guys over at the Shanghaiist have found a sweet knockoff of the Apple Peel that not only has the Peel 520's transforming abilities, but adds triple SIM card compatibility as well. Personally, I'm not sure what the obsession with multi-SIM compatible phones are but it's still a pretty cool feature. Video after the jump!
