Yes, we hate to start off a fresh week with more talk of the
Apple tablet, but this isn't
just another rumor. Stéphane Richard, second in command at Orange, was asked on a Europe 1 radio program about the Apple Tablet. When he was asked whether such a tablet will be announced before the end of the month, he responded "Yes," and when asked whether Orange users would get it, he responded "Sure!" This is of course not a confirmation by any means, but he doesn't sound like he's talking in theoreticals, either. You can listen to it yourself at the read link and let us know what you think below.
