> China Mobile could easily add over $3 in EPS in the first year

Nobody knows.

My first thought when I read "positive indication that China Mobile could aggressively market iPhones and iPads" is:
The more they think they are going to make on each phone the more aggressive they'll be. Which makes me wonder how lucrative their deal was. Maybe they got a better deal than the other carriers. Or they could just be putting it to their well heeled clients who want and iPhone and can't really afford to leave their network. Or both.

The other thing I think is, there is so much pent up expectation about this deal, Apple can't just do well it might just have to hit it out of the park. And many times Apple things like this take a little while to snowball.

So I wouldn't be surprised if the stock took a temporary hit. All in all though I think the quarterlies have to be good. Apple seems to be doing quite well selling stuff now with no supply chain issues. January is going to be good. Xmas means little in China I think. Just another day there.
