Your iTablet Rumors Du Jour

Taiwan Economic News is quoting "industry sources" who claim that several local component makers will be contributing to upcoming Apple Tablet PC, which is scheduled for a February 2010 release.

"DynaPack International Technology Corp. has been exclusively contracted to supply up to 300,000 units of long lasting battery packs a month…Wanshih Electronic Co., Ltd., a leading supplier of PC mini coaxial cables in Taiwan, is expected to absorb around 70% of Apple`s orders for mini coaxial cables for the tablet PCs…Mag. Layers Scientific-Technics Co., Ltd. and Wintek Corp. will supply power chokes and touch panels, respectively…"

The "iTablet" will purported have a 9.6 inch screen, finger-touch function, built-in HSPDA (high speed download packet access) module, and a P.A. SEMI processor chip.  It will also carry an MSRP of US$7-999.00, which doesn't exactly scream "Kindle killer" to us.

Take with the usual football-sized grain of salt.
