According to the DigiTimes, TPK Touch Solutions and Wintek are like little pigs in the mud, rolling with satisfaction with the growth in orders for touch panels. Such a situation in the market has generated optimistic expectations about the profits of these companies, Wintek, for example, should raise US $ 65.9 million in November.
Although Apple is one of the biggest customers, demand has increased across the spectrum, especially for smartphones. Orders for panels for tablets in addition to the iPad also grew, but not as much as those made by Ma. An unusual name even appears on the supposed list of customers: Sony. Is the Japanese giant preparing a tablet or thinking about adding a touch screen to the PSP2 or a PSPhone?
Component orders now may not be intended to supply markets during Christmas shopping, given the approaching end of the year. It is more likely, therefore, that new gadgets, such as the iPad 2 or the iPhone CDMA, are destined for the first half of 2011.
