According to a report in the Chinese language Commercial Times, institutional investors in Taiwan have been quoted as saying that China's Foxconn has landed the contract to build the 3G iPhone, and that it will start production in May of 3 million units for the 3G iPhone's June launch. Translated excerpts from the story are available at the DigitTimes website.
The report goes on to state that Foxconn is expecting to build anywhere from 24 to 25 million 3G iPhones during the cellphone's production run. While these are still little more than rumors, Foxconn does happen to be the sole manufacturer of the current iPhone, and many analysts do believe that the 3G iPhone will be launched at Apple's developer's conference (WWDC 2008) in June.
