HTC to begin volume production of Puccini tablet PCs in June

Yenting Chen, Taipei; Steve Shen, DIGITIMES [Thursday 26 May 2011]

HTC has entered the final stages of testing for its 10.1-inch Puccini tablet PCs, with volume production slated for June 2011. The tablet will be powered by a Qualcomm MSM8660 1.5GHz processor and runs on Android 3.0.1, according to sources in the supply chain.

Puccini will have a touch panel supporting both resistive and capacitive touch technologies and its touch pen will be able to work on specified software and areas, the sources noted.

HTC is purchasing 10.1-inch touch panels from AU Optronics (AUO) and Wintek for Puccini tablets , while buying 7-inch panels from Cando and Wintek for its Flyer tablets, added the sources.

AUO, after selling its holdings of a 19.9% stake in Cando to TPK Holdings, is integrating its production of touch sensors and touch modules in house, the sources revealed.
