Posted by Alisa Zykova on January 11, 2010 at 12:49 PM
France Télécom/Orange Executive Stephane Richard hinted in an interview today with France's radio channel Europe 1 that his company may soon be offering the much awaited Apple tablet, CNet reported. He responded "yes" to the question of whether a tablet with a Web cam would be launched by Apple. Richard unveiled a possible venture between the France Télécom/Orange and Apple, by responding "yes" to a question asking if Orange users would benefit from the launch. The tablet will be another step towards modernizing the videophone concept, Richard said.
According to the Washington Post, an Orange PR spokesperson interfered and said that Richard's responses "in no way" confirm the existence of the device. However, Reuters wrote Friday that Taiwanese manufacturer AVY Precision Technology Inc. would begin production of casing for the tablet in February, according to "two sources familiar with the situation."
