    Just what the slumping TV industry doesn't need: Foxconn (HNHAF.PK) is planning to release "entry-level large-size LCD TVs," Digitimes reports. The contract manufacturing giant, renowned for its ability to drive down production costs, is said to have begun trial production for its sets, but hasn't finalized marketing plans. Foxconn's TV ambitions could spell additional losses for Sharp (SHCAY.PK) and Sony (SNE), and pressure market leader Samsung's (SSNLF.PK) margins.

    Could this have anything to do with Apple?

    I guess it's possible. But the article talked about Foxconn handling marketing, customer service, and promotions. If they were making sets for Apple, they wouldn't be handling any of those things.

    Technology becomes a commodity product very quickly. Investors in other consumer goods technology companies should remember what's happened to Sony and Sharp.
