Asustek Computer's shipments of Eee Pad Transformer tablet PCs will reach 300,000 units as projected for June, and will account for 10% of total revenues for the month, according to company chairman Jonney Shih.
For the first half of 2011, total shipments of Eee Pad Transformers will top over 400,000 units compared to its target of 300,000, Shih added.
Shih made the remarks while Acer has lowered its tablet PC shipment target for 2011 from 7.5-10 million to five million units. But sources at component suppliers believe that Acer's revised target still remains too high.
While Motorola Mobility has said that it shipped 250,000 Xoom tablets during the February-April period, the sources indicated total shipments of Xoom tablets will be below 500,000 units by the end of June.
Additionally, sales of Samsung's Galaxy Tabs and HTC's HTC Flyers tablets have been flat so far, the source added.
With plans to launch new models including sliding tablets and its Padfone, Asustek is confident that it will be able to sustain its goal to ship two million tables PCs in 2011, Shih stated.
