Compal Communications is expected to ship four million smartphones in the second quarter of 2012, with Nokia's Lumia 610 accounting for the bulk of the shipments, according to a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report.

Compal saw its revenues grow 30.8% on month and 619.6% on year to NT$5.95 billion (US$201.67 million) for February, the company's highest monthly figures for the past five years, according to company data.

For the January-February period, revenues amounted to NT$10.5 billion, increasing 530.4% from a year earlier, the data showed.

>> Nokia Working on Own Tablet: Design Chief

Tarmo Virki
Reuters (Helsinki)
March 15, 2012

Nokia design chief Marko Ahtisaari is spending a third of his time on creating a tablet for the cellphone maker, which would stand out among hundreds of iPad-challengers, he said in an interview with Finnish magazine Kauppalehti Optio.

"We are working on it," he was quoted as saying.

Nokia's Chief Executive Stephen Elop has said the category is interesting for the Finnish company, but has stressed the need for a different approach to numerous rivals trying to battle against the dominance of Apple's iPad.

"We continue to eye the tablet space with interest, but have made no specific announcements," a company spokesman said on Thursday.

Nokia is widely expected to launch an own tablet using Microsoft's Windows 8 software later this year. ###
