The dolphin surfaces?
The news brief in the following link mentions a new manufacturer for iBooks in 2002. Compal Electronics supposedly has received orders for a million units, but Alpha-Top will make even more. Compal's units will begin to ship during the first quarter. It smells a little fishy? or should I say sea mammally? to me. What are the chances that Compal is actually making the dolphin/iPad/iTablet/iWhateverthehell it is?

<strong>I thought Dolphin was the codename for the Nintendo GameCube?</strong><hr></blockquote>
It was. I was reading a gamecube mag earlier tonight and it said "From Dolphin to GameCube" or something like that about it's development...

Although, if it is a new product, they must be anticipating that it'll be a phenomenal success, given market conditions and all.
