LCD Panel Supplier for Apple Netbook Product Selected?

Digitimes reports that Wintek has been selected as the LCD panel module supplier for "Apple's upcoming e-book form factor netbook product".

That description seems pretty broad as to what kind of device Apple is actually coming out with. Both netbook and tablet possibilities have been the topic of speculation for months. Some sort of hybrid touchscreen netbook has also been described which seems most consistent with the circulating rumors.

Despite all the buzz surrounding this device, most rumors don't pinpoint its release until late 2009 or early 2010.
