Orange’s CEO, Stephane Richard, was extremely candid regarding the Apple tablet over the weekend. He was on a radio show speaking with Jean Pierre Elkabbach, a French journalist, for radio Europe 1.
Elkabbach wasn’t even probing all that hard, he simply stated that Apple was planning to release a tablet, to which Richard agreed. With a webcam? Yes. And will Orange users benefit from it? Sure!
They are going to benefit from the web cam, they are going to be able to, in effect, transmit images in real time. We are going to modernize, in essence, the video phone that we knew a few years ago… the size of the resolution, and the quality of the resolution will be better, and it will be available to all in France.
So we have one more person confirming the existence of a tablet we’ve all known exists for while. There’s no new information here, so just move along folks. Nothing to see.
