Wintek to Blame for iPad Delay?

Wintek, a Taiwan based touch panel supplier, has been blamed for a delay of Apple's iPad shipments, reports the Liberty Times.

According to DigiTimes, the report says Wintek is facing a manufacturing bottleneck in its touch panel production. This has apparently hampered its shipments to Apple.

In response to these allegations, Wintek filed a statement with the Taiwan Stock Exchange saying that all of its operations have been running in line with its plans, and declined to comment on specific clients or particular orders.
