Is Apple finally on the verge of making its long-rumored tablet official? The much awaited announcement could come as early as January, according to Taiwanese site Digitimes, which has a monopoly on tech rumors emanating from the region. Apple has reportedly finalized Foxconn Group's panel-making subsidiary Innolux as the supplier of the 10-inch panels that will be featured in its tablet.
The site's sources went on to name iPhone-display supplier Wintek as the company Apple may call upon to lessen Innolux's burden. Foxconn Group subsidiaries seem to be in the thick of things as far as Apple's tablet is concerned. G-Tech Optoelectronics, another Foxconn subsidiary, will reportedly provide a glass strengthening process for the tablet's display.
The report goes as far as claiming that Apple delayed the launch of the tablet until the first quarter of 2010 as it wanted more time to optimize the strength of the tablet's display.
