Following up on loads of market chatter, Digitimes is reporting today that Foxconn International Holding, a unit of Foxconn Electronics, may have received orders from Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) and Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) to build smartphones. If orders did roll in, Microsoft and Amazon might not begin selling the devices until the middle of 2013.
