Well, let's say 300.000 MacBooks per month.

3.6 mln MacBooks for 2007.

Apple also has Quanta and Asustek as mfrs, so FoxConn would not be the only mfr. I'm not sure which does both iPods and Macs, which are Mac only, which are iPod only.

I wonder if the FoxConn contract is for more of the same notebooks, or if it is for the new rumored subnotebook.

Adding another contractor for notebooks indicates a growth in sales for Mac notebooks -- good news.
