		<p>I missed this one back in March&#8230;Index Corp, the Japanese mobile content giant, is now making forays into the Chinese mobile content market. In March, it bought out Skyinfo Telecom Technology&#8230;Skyinfo is a big strategic partner of China Mobile, China&#8217;s largest mobile phone carrier. This should be a big exit for Lenova, the Chinese PC giant whose venture capital subsidiary Legend Capital invested in Skyinfo in 2004.<br />
Index aims to capture approximately 20% of the Chinese market share in 2006, and about 25% in 2007.<br />
