Mozilla and Foxconn working on Firefox OS tablet

This seems a little shady but the rumor is they will be showing something at Computex.

According to a Taipei-based Mozilla spokeswoman, speaking to Reuters News Agency, Mozilla and Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd (Foxconn) are teaming up to launch a new mobile device. The relationship could be good for both players as Mozilla is seeking to establish a mobile platform for its popular PC browser while Foxconn is seeking to diversify and be less reliant upon Apple. The new device is rumoured to be a tablet rather than another smartphone. The new Firefox OS device will debut pre-Computex at a press event on 3rd June.

I know a person or three at Foxconn and the current rumor is that Foxconn won't have a booth this year but will likely entertain customers outside the show venue.  This is likely where the tablet will be shown, assuming there is one.

If I happen to see one at the show I'll grab a photo or two.
