Did Elton John Leak the iPad 2?
Posted in: Apple, ipad, Today's Chili
Does Elton John have an inside track into the upcoming iPad? Did he accidentally leak Apple’s sensitive information during an interview about the CGI film Gnomeo and Juliet? The blogosphere seems to think so.
Asked about technology, John told a BBC interviewer, “I don’t have a phone. I don’t have a computer, I don’t have an iPad, and I don’t have an iPod. I’m a luddite.” He did quickly add, however, “However, I am going to get an iPad in April. I’m going to get a Skype iPad to see Zachary [John’s infant son] when I’m not there. Finally entering the 21st century.”
What is a “Skype iPad?” An iPad with camera, one assumes–something nearly everyone expects will be added to the next version of the popular tablet, particularly given Jobs’s love of his company’s Facetime software.
Does Elton know something we don’t? Hm. It seems likely that a self-proclaimed “luddite” might well have a fundamental misunderstanding of the device’s feature set, right?
