Rumour bombshell coming up!
Stéphane Richard, a France Télécom and Orange executive, has practically confirmed the existence of an Apple Tablet during a radio interview. The exec even notes that the tablet will come with a webcam to shoot realtime video. Check out the interview below (translated by AppAdvice):
Jean-Pierre Elkabbach: According to weekly Le Point, in a couple of days Apple will be launching its tablet computer …
Stéphane Richard: Yes.
Jean-Pierre Elkabbach: … equipped with a webcam.
Stéphane Richard: Yes.
Jean-Pierre Elkabbach: Are Orange customers going to be able to enjoy it?
Stéphane Richard: Of course!
Take a look at the video below for more:
So, confirmed tablet or overzealous exec?
**Edit** Orange has responded to the video above:
“These responses in no way reflect Orange’s confirmation of the existence of the rumoured device. The spokesperson was merely confirming that he is aware of the speculation surrounding a launch and that Orange would be delighted to have such a product were it ever to be availableâ€
Could this be Apple’s PR machine working behind the scenes again? Slowly revealing tiny tidbits of information overseas, and in another language?!
