France Télécom and Orange executive Stéphane Richard has confirmed in a radio interview that Apple will be launching its much-anticipated tablet device as has been rumored for later this month and this also confirms the existence of the tablet folks. AppAdvice offers a translation of the exchange between Richard and Jean-Pierre Elkabbach of France’s Europe 1:
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.
This interview confirm that iSlate will have a built in webcam and will be released later this month, Orange customers will have iSlate treat as well with video conferences.
