Gartner says Apple is ordering massive 3G iPhone

Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney says that Apple may already be putting the 3G iPhone into production according to his Asian contacts. Based on talks he's had with his sources, he believes that Apple has placed an order for 10 million of the new iPhone model.

Dulaney also speculates that battery life will be better because Apple will switch to OLED (organic LED) displays for the new phone and this will also make the iPhone thinner.

Whether or not this is true remains to be seen, but I have no doubt that Apple has already ramped up production to meet demand for the next generation of iPhones. And yes, I still think there will be more than one new iPhone from Apple this year.
