Chaz Taiwan's Cell Phone Output Expected to Surge 16-Fold, CT Says --From AOL.-- Cooters Taipei, April 17 (Bloomberg) -- Cellular phone production by Taiwan companies is expected to jump 16-fold this year as demand surges for cheaper outsourced manufacturing, the Commercial Times reported, citing information from companies and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Taiwan's three largest cellular phone manufacturers -- Acer Peripherals Inc., DBTel Inc. and GVC Corp. -- produced 2.75 million handsets on a contract basis last year in their Taiwan and China factories. With the entry into the cell phone market of some 10 notebook computer makers, including Arima Computer Corp., Quanta Computer Inc. and Inventec Co., output should rise this year to 16.6 million units, or 3.7 percent of the global market, the paper said. Shares of DBTel, which before mobile phones focused on cordless phones, have risen 462 percent since Nov. 1, compared with a 57 percent rise in the benchmark index during the same period.
