ZTE to roll out tablet PCs

Wang Yong, deputy GM of mobile broadband at Chinese telecom equipment and handset vendor ZTE, announced that domestic sales of its tablet PCs will begin somewhere around the end of the year. When the rollout is completed there will be five or six models.
Wang said ZTE has already received orders from Europe and the Asia-Pacific region for the tablets and estimates that overseas markets will account for more than 60% of total sales.
Last week ZTE showed its first Android-based tablet PC, the Light V9, at the 2010 P&T/Expo Comm China in Beijing.
Marbridge reported that China Unicom and China Telecom are in talks to carry the tablet. No firm prices have been given as yet, although Wang said it would be priced lower than the Apple iPad.
