Apple Tablet to Release in June

A report by DigiTimes claims that Apple is has contracted the Taiwanese based company Wintek to supply touch panels for a new Apple netbook.

Wintek revealed that it is currently working with Apple to develop some new products, but it said it does not know what applications the new products are for. Wintek added that no shipment schedule has been worked out yet, but shipments are likely to begin in the second half of the year.

My guesses are that Wintek is going to be using these panels for the new iPhones and these Mac Tablets pictured above, which will be release

Wintek has reported that its consolidated revenues for February totaled NT$1.81 billion (US$52 million), representing a 25.69% increase from NT$1.44 billion in January, but a 21.65% decrease from NT$2.31 billion for the same month in 2008.

There have been tons of rumors circulating the web over the past several months about a touch notebook or a tablet in the works. It looks like we will be seeing one of the too in June.
