Kindle Fire production goes to Foxconn
Amazon's eReader Kindle Fire will be assembled by EMS heavyweight Foxconn.
Taiwan-based EMS-giant Foxconn Electronics (also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry) is said to have secured manufacturing orders for the 10-inch Kindle Fire from Amazon. Shipments are rumoured to start in 2Q/2012.
A recent report from analyst firm IHS iSuppli suggests that Amazon sold just shy of 4 million Kindle Fires in 4Q/2011.
