      Orange CEO confirms Apple tablet

      January 11, 2010 /

      Orange's Stephane Richard.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.

      Reading Material: Can in-app sales and the iPad save publishing?

      October 16, 2009 /

      Apple tablet concept.There’s a good read up on Wired’s Gadget Lab about Apple’s recent removal of in-app purchase restrictions for free iPhone apps. The article suggests that the move, when implemented with the Apple tablet, could be the defib the publishing industry needs.

      There are already a couple apps out there using this model, though they weren’t free to begin with. The McSweeney’s app, for instance, allowed you to purchase six months of content on installation. From there it was a subscription service for more of the premium goods. Wired thinks newspapers and magazines could use this model to differentiate premium quality content from the everyday stuff like blogs and user content.

      The key to the publishing transformation, though, is the Apple tablet. For my part, I really don’t like to read content exclusively on my iPhone. I love the flexibility to do so as I please, but having content limited to just that little screen is exactly the reason I’ve avoided the McSweeney’s app. It’s just too small to use for all of my daily reading. A tablet would change that, offering the real estate necessary to make daily reading an enjoyable experience.
