Apple orders 10m 3G iPhones - report
Apple is accelerating manufacture of the 3G iPhone

Apple has ordered the manufacture of ten million 3G-capable second-generation iPhones, according to Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney.
Dulaney cites sources in Asia that told the analyst of the news. He suggests the order for ten million units of the new model handset to be in addition to the ten million V1 iPhones Apple has ordered.
As reported by iPod Observer, the new version iPhone could also include an OLED display. This would make for a thinner device with longer battery life.
The analyst claims Apple to have accelerated development of the new model of the device in reaction to weaker than anticipated sales in Europe, where potential consumers aren't satisfied with the EDGE data connection offered by the first model.
