Now, according toReuters the troubled company (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/28/sharp-cuts-jobs-in-japan/) has slipped behind on production, with The Wall Street Journal going as far to say mass production hasn't started at all. The nearest thing to a reason given for the situation is "manufacturing difficulties." If you were worried this might delay the reveal of Apple's next flagship (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/30/two-sources-talk-of-iphone-event-around-september-12th/), theWSJ also reminds us that Sharp is still one of three suppliers, though it's unclear just how big a slice of the production-pie Okuda's brigade has been given. At the very least, those on the production line can likely enjoy some much appreciated overtime.
