Innolux gets news Apple touch panel order

Shared by Josh Bancroft
Someday, the "tablet mac" will pop into existence through nothing other than the sheer force of will of several thousands geeks. :-)

According to a Digitimes report yesterday, Taiwanese display manufacturer Innolux has secured a secret order for touch panels from Apple, with shipments slated to begin "soon." Arching far back on its heels, thumbing its suspenders and whistling, "No comment!" says Innolux.

There's a lot of possibilities here, some more obvious and less exciting than others. Innolux currently supplies the touch panel for the iPhone, so this could just be a standard refill order as Apple confidently predicts the 3G iPhone to be a smash. But since size isn't mentioned in the Digitimes piece, one can dare to dream... a MacBook Pro successor with a swivling tablet screen? A touch panel iMac, a la the HP Touchsmart?
