Stéphane Richard, the number two at large firm Orange was being interviewed on the Europe 1 radio station when the issue of the Apple Table cropped up.

When he was asked whether the tablet will be announced officially before the end of the month he responded “Yes” and also said it would be available through Orange.

While this isn’t confirmation as such, it certainly gives credence to such an argument. With such a high-up in the tech industry saying the announcement for the Apple Tablet was imminent, surely we’re inclined to believe? Let’s see if his promises hold true. Do you think the Apple tablet will be announced before the end of January?

There’s not doubt that Apple is positioning itself for a long battle. For years rumors of iPhone killers have bubbled up and been put down, but now with Google in the game, rumors start to look more real when a company like them comes into play. Google is positioning their  newly branded phone as the alternative to the iPhone hoping to eat up market share, but also establish a mobile marketing network that entices businesses to jump on board.

Apple, never one to be out down has defended it’s crown rather well this past decade with the introduction of the iPod, now the iPhone. A great defensive move for Apple, but is it enough? Announced on the day that Google makes its own announcement is no coincidence. What I’m also interested to see is how this plays a role in the release of the supposed “Apple tablet”.

What does the future hold for these two battle giants? Unsure right now, but we as users will hopefully benefit from the fall out.
