As I understand it, the companies Apple Computer, Inc. outsources to
are located in China, Taiwa, and Singapore. I'm looking to find out
who these companies are-their names, where they are located, and as
much about them as possible. If you can give me more information about
them then just their names, I will increase the pay.

 Therefore, it is probably impossible to find a comprehensive list. 
And, different suppliers are used for the iPod vs. the Macintosh
computers.  That said, I was able to locate a number of articles
describing various Apple suppliers.  I hope you find them useful.
