Foxconn (aka Hon Hai Precision Industry) has supposedly won the bid for the assembly of the elusive 3G-capable second generation iPhone. They are expected to deliver up to 3 million of the next generation iPhone in June, with a total production run expected to be 24-25 millions throughout the life-cycle of the device.
This is all according to a report by the Commerical Times, who fanboys may remember accurately reported that Foxconn had won the contract for the original iPhones.
At least in the UK… According to an O2 memo that Engadget got their hands on:
“Due to the highly successful sales of the Apple 8GB iPhone, supply chain have today run out of stock & will not be replenishing stock of this product as it has now gone to end of life.”
Yet another piece of the 3G puzzle seems to be failing in place.
Engadget is also reporting that the 3G iPhone will be sporting full fledged GPS, though breaking rank from the current trend, they’re reporting it could ship as “early as July”. Where analysts and fanboys alike are leaning more towards a June release.
We’ve just added a new theme to the Hijinks Repo, courtesy of one of our readers.

After posting on how to run Facebook Chat from your Firefox sidebar, I got to thinking about the other potential usages of popout.php. More specifically, using it as a browser based chat client on the iPhone. Sadly though, Facebook has neglected to allow iPhone/iPod touch users the ability to run Facebook Chat from Mobile Safari. Lame!
Anyhow, with my limited programming skills I’m toying with a way around this, but don’t expect any miracles since I don’t really plan on using Facebook Chat all that often.
Reader Ed sent me a message on Facebook asking how to go about creating a theme for the iPod touch/iPhone. Here’s a quick tutorial.
First, an overview of what images you’ll need to create.
As you can see listed above, you’ll need to create Dock.png, StatusBar.png and Wallpaper.png. As well as an Icons folder. It should be noted that none of these are absolutely required, you can easily make a theme without a Wallpaper.png, etc.
Create a folder named after your theme, then store the files listed above in said folder.
More details after the jump.
