Orange Customers To Get Apple iSlate

Apple is silently preparing to surprise the word with its table computer and man people were doubtful that it might be a rumour as no statement has come from Apple. But all the doubts are now clear, though, its still not done by Apple but by a telecom company which is going to be a partner for this tablet computer. One of the world's largest telecommunication services company France Telecom disclosed that Apple is going to launch its tablet size computer in few days. It will be a touchscreen device with a webcam in it.

Apple provide its services under the well-known brand Orange which is mainly based in Europe and Africa and is the fifth largest telecom company in the world. France Telecom's second in command and owner of Orange Stephen Richard made it clear that Orange customers will get the privilege to use Apple iSlate. Orange has always liked to be associated with Apple and its clear from the fact that before this also company wanted to do an exclusive arrangement with Apple to sell its iPhone in France but the nation's government didn't allow this. Still Orange sold 200,000 iPhones in December and it also did an agreement with Apple to bring its iPhone 3G for its Orange UK customers.

Apple is hopeful of making its touchscreen compatible with the Verizon Network and its also been speculated that whether it'll offer its iSlate on subsidized and non-subsidized rates to its customers or not. But Orange is hopeful of getting these iSlates on discounted prices for its customers, though, no mention of pricing was made.
