January 08, 2010 :: Posted by - SoSly :: Category - News

Suppliers for the Apple Tablet have begun shipping touchscreen panels and will start delivering aluminum casings next month, according to Reuters sources, implying a second-quarter product launch.

AVY Precision Technology Inc, a Taiwanese manufacturer of covers for electronic products, will begin production of the cases in February, two sources familiar with the situation said on Friday.

TPK Solutions, an unlisted touch screen panel maker also based in Taiwan will also supply panels for the product, a third source said, on top of those already being manufactured by another Taiwan company, Wintek Corp.
