How SAD that you say "If anyone can get this right it will be Apple." You DO realize that they have had FAR more misses than hits in their history, right?

I gotta laugh at hte fanboys. The SAME hypocrites who were blasting Microsofot for trying to enter the already crwoded market of MP3 player sabout 4 years too late and now ejaculating into their palms over the fact that Apple MAY BE (as this is still just yet another rumor) entering a FAR more crowded market at least EIGHT years too late.

@MOGua AND finalmillenium:Wrong again. You're confusing a company's revenue ("they MAKE more than Apple") with valuation ("they're WORTH more than Apple"). The net WORTH or valuation of Apple is FAR higher than Foxconn or Hon Hai. It's simply a much bigger company.

Unless you knit your own gitch from organic hemp, about 75% of your posessions are likely made by underpaid foreign workers.

In yesterday's news from Hong Kong. Foxconn will invest US1.3b to beef up production to meet demands of mobile handsets. They presently make handsets for Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Nokia. But to invest that much can only mean one thing. To meet demands for an iPhone? ;) <a class="user" href="http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=5&art_id=32317&sid=10977053&con_type=1&d_str=20061121&sear_year=2006">http://www.thestandard.com.hk/news_detail.asp?pp_cat=5&art_id=32317&sid=10977053&con_type=1&d_str=20061121&sear_year=2006</a>
