OrangeのCEOより

通信会社OrangeのCEOがAppleTabletに関してポロッと秘密をこぼしちゃったとのこと。ただ真実かどうか…。

Stéphane Richard future CEO of Orange in France has seemingly let Apple’s secret out of the bag in a radio interview this morning. In the interview the executive states that the long-rumoured Apple tablet will have 3G networking and a built-in webcam.

A translation of the pertinent parts of the interview:

Jean-Pierre Elkabbach (the interviewer) : According to Le Point (a french magazine), your partner Apple will be launching a tablet
Stéphane Richard: Yes.
Jean-Pierre Elkabbach: … equipped with a webcam.
Stéphane Richard: Yes.
Jean-Pierre Elkabbach: Will Orange customers also be able to enjoy it?
Stéphane Richard: Of course!, they will actually particularly enjoy it because the webcam will allow live video streaming. It’s a new take on mobile video-conferencing.

Following this information Orange has clarified by stating that Richard was only acknowledging the speculation.

“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 available.”
