Whether the Apple iPad tablet is going to prove to be another Apple success or not this year is beside the point. Foxconn, the manufacturer of Apple products, says they can only make 300k iPads at launch. The Cupertino giant have planned to have 1 million iPads available but Foxconn can only meet leass than a third of this due to problems in multitouch supply. On the surface, this has nothing to do with the Wintek strike, but more on quality control issues. Rumor has it that the multitouch glass on the iPad is not as strong as the device demands. This rumor doesn’t surprise me at all. Carrying everywhere an naked 9-inch touchscreen would not doubt have “strength issues.”
