Apple buys 60% of all touch panels in Asia

There will be a crisis of touch panels in the short? Maybe. To disseminate the news was DigiTimes, located near the Asian eastern producers of components. Of course, the source in question is not the most reliable, it is still interesting to report the data. Well, DigiTimes has released its estimates on the production of touch panels, production in 2011 could be almost monopolized by Apple.

The touch panel products in Asia, in fact, should be 60% in the hands of Apple, while 40% of these components would be "available" competitors. Among the latter, then, HP, RIM and Motorola would make a big voice, leaving the other dry. Apple, now, would have secured much of the production and Wintek TPK, avoiding hypothetical black-out of components and at the same time, leaving "crumbs" to others.

View the next crisis, then, the main competitor to Apple referred to above, had already fled to safe havens, offering producers Asian "free" all their support production.
