Is Apple releasing a Touchscreen Netbook this summer?
Newlaunches.com — ... that an Apple Netbook can be expected in the third quarter of this year. Their information comes from Wintek, the company slated to provide the touch panels for the device – the netbook will itself be made by Quanta Computer. But are these rumours true? Commercial Times were true when they came out with the news of the iPhone. But there were times when they were wrong also.

Reuters' Source Confirms Apple 10-inch Touchscreen Order for Third Quarter [Rumor]
Gizmodo — Reuters is also confirming the rumors from the Commercial Times about Apple ordering 10-inch touchscreens for third quarter. They are quoting an unnamed source. This may just be what others have reported already or maybe Reuters actually did some original reporting and this is a new source from the touchscreen manufacturer. Whatever it is, now I'm excited.

Is the Apple Netbook Really an Ebook? [Rumor]
Gizmodo — With three separate reports confirming that Apple has ordered 10-inch touchscreens from Taiwan, you can pretty much count it as fact. But not everyone thinks that those displays will end up in a netbook. Andy Ihnatko of the Chicago Sun-Times has a different theory about the device that could point to at least one of its functions. He thinks it's being poised as an ebook: There's something I keep hearing, and I don't think I'd rank it as high as a rumor, but it's an interesting story that I keep hearing, that for awhile, trucks loaded ...

With No Real Apple Netbook on the Horizon, Chinese Create Fake One [Fakes]
Gizmodo — Sure, you could always wait for Apple to release its first netbook (if they actually do). But over here in China, when we want something bad enough, we go and make it ourselves. That's right, manufacturers in Shenzhen have gone and created their own netbook. And in true copycat fashion, it has a hilariously inverted fruit adorning the top cover. Spec-wise, the WF188 actually isn't too bad. It has a 10-inch LED display with a resolution of 1024 x 576, a 1.3Ghz Via Nano processor with the VIA VX855 chipset, and a max of 2GB RAM. You can even choose ...

Rumor: Apple Orders 3.2-Megapixel Camera Sensors For Next iPhone [Apple]
Gizmodo — ... OmniVision, a known quantity in the industry, beat out Apple's current CMOS supplier, Aptina, for the contract. But the reporting one this is extremely brief and spares us virtually any details. One gets the feeling that this particular rumor was held to a lower evidentiary standard than, say, a rumor about an Apple tablet, because it's just so plausible—most of us would be surprised if the next iPhone doesn't boost its camera resolution to 3.2 megapixels or beyond. ...

Apple's Tablet: The Story So Far [Apple]
Gizmodo — ... Just a few months ago, something resembling hard evidence emerged: The Commercial Times, Dow Jones news wire and Reuters all reported that Apple had ordered 9.7" multitouch panels from Wintek. These would be the displays in a device set for a Q3 release. Shortly after, the WSJ ...

Re-Rumor: Apple Tablet Coming in October, Priced at $800 [Apple]
Gizmodo — ... , this will sound familiar: Wintek was the company previously said to have supplied a bunch of touchscreen panels to Apple for use in a tablet—a narrative that lost a little stream after a no-show at WWDC. But bearing a resemblance to previous rumors could mean two things: either the China Times has been able to independently confirm something true, lending it credence; or they—or their sources—are simply echoing rumors. The pricing rumor is subject to the same suspicions: ...
