Don't believe
Apple will release a small
tablet?
Maybe not. But that hasn't stopped a constant trickle of reports citing
Asia-based suppliers who are reportedly gearing up to make parts for
the device in the third quarter of this year.
AU Optronics and LG Display will supply the 7.85-inch screen for the
Apple device, according to Taipei-based Economic Daily News--that report
was cited in the
Macotakara blog in a post dated March 6.
Other suppliers listed in the original Chinese-language article include: Radiant Opto-Electronics and Forhouse, which will supply the backlight module;
Renesas Electronics, which will make driver ICs (integrated circuit); and Toshiba, which will deliver the NAND flash memory.
An Asia-based
report in December also cited AU Optronics and LG as display suppliers.
And an analyst told CNET at that time that
Apple was showing
increasing interest in making a small tablet based on a 7.85-inch
screen.
