iPhones contract reportedly won by Hon Hai

Posted on Nov 15, 06 07:08 PM PDT

Hon Hai Precision Industry from Taiwan has apparently snagged the (mythic) contract from Apple to manufacture 12 million cellphones. This might be the break that hordes of apple fans were waiting: the iPhone could be on track to be released sometime in the first half of next year. The new iPhone will hopefully be a formidable MP3 player unlike the Motorola ROKR that failed pretty miserably. What would you be willing to pay for an Apple cellphone, and what features would you love to see in it? Having a large amount of flash memory would probably be on your list. The picture shown is just an art concept and does not come from Apple. We previously said that Apple would not launch a cellphone until it finds a business model. I'm curious to see what it is.
