DigiTimes in Taiwan says: "Taiwan-based Wintek will supply touch panels for Apple's new netbook, and shipments will start in the third quarter this year, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report."
Further: "Quanta Computer will be the maker of Apple's new netbook, the Commerical Times report said."
It's not absolutely clear whether we're talking about an Apple Newton/Microsoft Origami-style tablet, which might be like a bigger iPod Touch with an ARM Cortex chip, or an Apple eMate/Intel Classmate 2-style netbook with a keyboard and an Intel Atom processor, or something completely different. But -- as Acer and Asus have shown -- there is a fast-growing market for devices somewhere between today's iPods and today's MacBooks, and it wouldn't be a huge shock if Apple wanted a chunk of it.
