Foxconn to Jump in Notebook Market?

Written by Mike Buetow

TAIPEI -- Hon Hai will enter the notebook contract manufacturing market next year, the Commercial Times reported. Hon Hai, the world's largest ODM and the parent of Foxconn, primarily makes connectors, desktops, MP3 players, game consoles and cellphones. However, some analysts feel the move won't affect the major notebook manufacturers. The Commercial Times quoted Daiwa Institute of Research analyst Calvin Huang as saying Foxconn lacks design capability and "we have not seen them land any big [contract manufacturing] projects yet, so I don't see any impact to the other players."
