Reports coming in are pointing at Foxconn as the manufacturer the rumored Apple Table.
A Digitimes insider reports:
…the tablet PC features will focus more on e-book functionality rather than music, and that based on Apple’s marketing strategy, long battery life, quick Internet connectivity and an easy-to-use user interface will be key features of the device
Surprisingly, initial shipments, due early 1st Q 2010, are only in the 300,000 to 400,000 unit range.

Gizmodo is showing off a “booklet” PC and reporting that this is Microsoft’s take on the future of tablet computing.
Courier is a real device, and we’ve heard that it’s in the “late prototype” stage of development. It’s not a tablet, it’s a booklet. The dual 7-inch (or so) screens are multitouch, and designed for writing, flicking and drawing with a stylus, in addition to fingers. They’re connected by a hinge that holds a single iPhone-esque home button. Statuses, like wireless signal and battery life, are displayed along the rim of one of the screens. On the back cover is a camera, and it might charge through an inductive pad, like the Palm Touchstone charging dock for Pre.
Read more about it, and check a video over at Gizmodo.
