Orange France Confirms Release of Apple Tablet
French Mac site On Refait le Mac has published information regarding a confirmation, on French radio, that Orange France will be selling Apple’s tablet at the end of the month. Stéphane Richard, the future CEO of Orange, said, in an interview, that his company would be selling the device, and that it would contain an iSight camera for video-conferencing.
On the other hand, I hope this means that there will be two versions of the tablet. Because if the only version is one tied to a 3G data contract, this device will certainly fail. People buy phone contracts for phones, not for this type of device. While a mobile tablet device will be interesting, there had better be wifi in it as well, and the 3G contract had better be optional, or Apple will certainly lose a lot of potential users.

I agree. They did it right with the iPhone and the iPod touch.
Liked your article on iTunes views. My problem is getting rid of podcasts which I have heard already. When my Gen 2 Shuffle is dead, I plug in to recharge. iTunes pops up, downloads new podcasts and I lose my “place” in the last one heard. Pain to have to manually track and delete old items. The thing is geared to music people who never tire of Whitney’s one real hit!
