Quanta receives tablet PC orders from Amazon, say upstream sources
Well as expected a tablet from Amazon
http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20110502PD216.html Taiwan-based notebook maker Quanta Computer has recently received OEM orders from Amazon for its reported tablet PC and the device will also receive full support from Taiwan-based electrophoretic display (EPD) maker E Ink Holdings (EIH) for supplying touch panel as well as providing its Fringe Field Switching (FFS) technology, according to sources from upstream component makers. |
