Update - Apples to Oranges: Orange gave Paid Content a call. In regard to the many reports claiming these translated statements equated to a tablet "confirmation"
But it was nothing of the sort, the Orange PR machine tells paidContent:UK: “A few comments taken out of context, then interpreted into English.”
A full statement emailed to us has further back-tracking: “These responses in no way reflect Orange’s confirmation of the existence of the rumoured device. The spokesperson was merely confirming that he is aware of the speculation surrounding a launch and that Orange would be delighted to have such a product were it ever to be available.”
Our take: Someone at Orange got a long distance call from Cupertino and their ears are probably still ringing.
