Earlier this edition was not mistaken, assuming that Apple plans to release a tablet computer, while others spoke of a netbook. So it is necessary to assume that this time the newspaper has reliable information.

Now, in the Economic Daily News, there is evidence that some Taiwanese manufacturers parts get a contract to release the components for the iPad 2. In particular, Chimei Innolux must supply 7-inch LCD-displays with the matrix, manufactured by IPS technology. A Cando Corporation will supply touch panels for him. The very same assembly of a new gadget should take place at the company Compal Electronics.
