http://www.informationweek.com/news/personal-tech/tablets/229402272Many had initially estimated that Motorola would sell 1 million Xooms before the end of the first quarter--which ended March 31. Component makers such as Taiwan-based Catcher Technology and Foxconn Technology, which are supplying parts for the Motorola Xoom tablet, indicated earlier this year that Motorola planned to manufacture between 700,000 and 1 million Xoom tablets by the time the first quarter of 2011 closed.
“Motorola is saddened by the recent suicides at Foxconn, and our sympathy goes out to all the families affected,” the company said in a statement sent to CRN.com. Foxconn assembles cell phones for Schaumburg, Ill.-based Motorola.
“We take very seriously the working conditions in our supply chain. Motorola is committed to ensuring that conditions throughout our supply chain are in compliance with our supplier code of conduct and widely accepted norms of fairness and human decency,” the company said.
Motorola also said that is has been investigating labor conditions at Foxconn and would “take appropriate additional action as needed.” HP and Dell also issued statements saying they had initiated inquiries into the situation at Foxconn.
