"&amp;lt;vc&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Companies who make touch panels for Apple's iPad are expected to see revenue growth in the fourth quarter of 2010 -- a typically slow season that will be bolstered by red hot sales of the touchscreen tablet.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nAccording to &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;DigiTimes&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;, companies like Wintek and TPK Touch Solutions are expected to experience &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.digitimes.com/NewsShow/NewsSearch.asp?DocID=PD000000000000000000000000016779&amp;amp;query=APPLE\"&amp;gt;continued revenue growth&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; in the fourth quarter of calendar 2010, thanks to strong consumer demand for the iPad. However, other touch panel makers who concentrate on smartphones, like Young Fast Optoelectronics and J Touch, are anticipated to see the traditional end-of-year seasonal decline in business.\r\n\r\n\"With Apple currently dominating the touch screen tablet PC market, almost every touch panel maker with mass production ability has received orders from Apple,\" the Taiwanese industry publication wrote Wednesday.\r\n\r\niPad touch panel suppliers are expected to have increased capacity in the fourth quarter, which could lead to an even greater supply of devices for the holiday season.

Actual shipments for rival companies' iPad competitors are not expected to take place until 2011.\r\n\r\nThis week an analyst concluded that the iPad, introduced in April, has had the &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/10/05/apples_ipad_proclaimed_to_have_fastest_adoption_rate_ever.html\"&amp;gt;fastest adoption rate&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; of any new electronics product ever. Apple announced in July that the iPad had sold &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/07/20/notes_of_interest_from_apples_q3_2010_conference_call.html\"&amp;gt;3.27 million units&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; in its first three months of availability."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
