Shenzhen

New Alcatel-Lucent chief Ben Verwaayen faces a difficult job Friday as he tries to convince shareholders he can turn around the troubled French-U.S. telecommunications equipment maker the way he did BT Group PLC.

Verwaayen, credited with transforming the British telecoms company into a broadband Internet powerhouse, will be expected to pull off similar results at Alcatel-Lucent SA, a company still beset by integration problems two years after its creation in a giant trans-Atlantic merger, analysts say.

An unnamed girl employed by the Shenzhen plant in China, operated by subcontractor Foxconn Technology Group, has become popular overnight after photos of her appeared on an iPhone customer's device.

Who is the "iPhone Girl"?

Pictures of an Asian factory worker found on a new iPhone sold to a British customer have generated keen discussion on the Internet about her identity -- and her fate.

The three pictures, posted on the Apple discussion Web site MacRumors.com, show a young Asian woman working on what appears to be an assembly line for iPhones.

Dressed in a pink striped outfit and hat and wearing white gloves with yellow fingertips, the young woman now known on the Web as the "iPhone Girl" is shown smiling and making victory signs as she poses next to an iPhone.
