According to
Digitimes, Wintek, a taiwanese contractor is claiming to be working with Apple on a touchscreen notebook (ultraportable) that should be on the market for Q3 2009. Quanta should be in charge of the production.
It is unclear how this information leaked out, but Apple might not like it at all, as such partnership might imply the highest degree of confidentiality. One can imagine that part of the information has been released to make investors less stress about mid-term future and perspective. Indeed, cooperating with Apple on a project is usually synonym of a success story.
