Apple Netbook Touchscreen Rumors Continue to Gather Steam

Close on the heels of rumors from the Commercial Times on Monday and Dow Jones Newswires on Tuesday, Reuters reports on a source close to touchscreen manufacturer Wintek saying that the company has received orders from Apple for 10-inch touchscreens expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2009.

Taiwan touchscreen specialist Wintek already makes small screens for Apple iPhones, and has received orders for the larger ones that are roughly the same size as those used in mini PCs, said the source close to the Taiwan firm. He asked not to be identified because he was not authorized to talk to the media.

He added that he did not know what the final product would be, or who would make it.

It is unclear whether this is one of the same sources quoted by the Commercial Times and/or Dow Jones Newswires, but Reuters' claim that the source provided the information "on Wednesday", after the previous reports had been issued, suggests that this is either a fresh repetition of the information by a previous source or a new source entirely.

Steve jobs said after the iPhone came out that they had originally started working on a touch tablet and the iPhone spun off of that. I think this is definitely gonna happen.

great for all of the business types out there screaming for a netbook. Just an old retired navy type here who would like to see a major upgrade of my almost two year old iphone…

Voice recogntion, longer battery life (current battery life ok) more razzle dazzle; something earth shattering, better speaker capability and a better bluetooth headset (apples' SUCKS)


Apple freak since '84
