Report: Apple sticks with Wintek to supply touchscreen panels for upcoming tablet
DigiTimes is reporting that Apple has pegged Wintek to supply the touchscreen panels for its upcoming “e-book form factor netbook.” I suppose that that’s another way of describing a tablet.

Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Usually when I come across an asinine article from an established website, I title it “So and so gets paid to write for <Insert Publication>?’ But I thought I’d spicen things up a bit this time and call a spade a spade. Scott Moritz may very well be a smart guy, but he’s clearly un-qualified […]
