“Elton John today suggested that the iPad 2 will be on sale in April,” Tony Smith reports for The Register.
“The Grammy Award-winning star’s comments came on BBC One’s breakfast show this morning,” Smith reports. “The gist of it is that Sir Elton is looking forward to buying an iPad in April so he can use Skype.”
Smith reports, “Conspiracy theorists immediately suggested Elton is waiting until then because he knows the iPad 2 will be out and that it’ll have a webcam on board.”

MacDailyNews Take: Or Elton reads tech websites like the rest of us.
Fruit cake.
“Or Elton reads tech websites like the rest of us.”
More likely, Sir Elton has people who read up on tech for him.
This rumor will die Like a candle in the wind
Rocket Man !
All this is so predictable. For anyone who is paying attention, even the the slightest bit of attention. Apple has a pretty regular schedule of launches for its products. Elton doesn’t have an inside track, but he can assume that the new model will launch about the same time as the old one. e.g. the big OS and hardware launches will at the WWDC laster this spring. Easy.

Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight’s hitting something
That’s been known to change the weather
We’ll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You’re gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
chorus
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they’re so spaced out, B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they’re weird and they’re wonderful
Oh Bennie she’s really keen
She’s got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
B-B-B-Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they’re blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who’s right and who’s wrong
Ugh, worst song ever . . .
“Hey Clive, come have a look. Elton’s ‘avin a bit o’ BBC for breakfast!”
“Awright, that’s it then. We’re droppin’ them bawdy channels straightaway.”
First Mick Jagger now this…
“Hey Clive, come have a look. Elton’s ‘avin a bit o’ BBC for breakfast!”
Yeah, brown toast with lots of butter.
In the same interview Elton admitted to not owning a cellphone, and being a luddite. It’s highly unlikely he’s reading any websites. His reason for getting the iPad is so he can “skype” whilst he’s away to see his new baby.

I bet Rush Limbaugh told him after Rupert Murdoch told him what Steve Jobs told him….
When did Elton become a tech reporter, maybe he is auditioning for to be the next Steve Jobs. Just wondering if the IPad 2 will come installed with the Rocket Man
greatest hits.

What????
Elton John?
Seriously?
I have a friend who walks the dog for someone who knows the brother of someone who cuts Phil Schiller’s hair.
Shall we get their opinion because we need corroboration on a rumour of this magnitude from a credible source.
who the hell is elton john ?
Elton John? Rocket Man?
Aaah… I did the airbrush lettering for his EP jacket.
Gawd, so loooong ago, when airbrushes gave you ink-stained lungs, nose, throat – and hankies.
Ugh: I love Photoshop.
Mark my words ……. Elton John will be Apple’s next CEO
Either him or John Lennon….
I see we have a bunch of homophobes here. I am embarrassed to be in their company on this website. Another charming “conservative” trait. Makes me as nauseous as the bloggers over at PC World or any other anti-Apple cretins.
Oh yeah, right, conservatives. Uh huh. Dumb libs. Just can’t help themselves. Civility, right on!
Elton has written a number of very fine songs and has justly received high accolades worldwide. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Candle in the Wind come to mind…
I don’t care who the guy dates or what he wears. He is a genious.
Freaking hipsters. Gosh! You better believe it!

Homophobia is not a Conservative trait.
Just like racism, it is shared by some in all political beliefs.
I personally don’t know any Conservatives that have a problem with gays.
Gay marriage, well, that’s a different story….
oh auramac…just because someone doesn’t like queers doesn’t make them a homophobe. The whole phobia things suggests fear. Personally I’m not the least bit afraid of fags and dykes. I just don’t like them. My opinion, which I am entirely entitled to, is that special interest groups like gays deserve no more rights than anyone else yet they are constantly up in your face about so many things and are constantly trying to change the way society views things. I’m very happy with my views than you very much. I also don’t believe, no matter how much propaganda the queers throw at us, that gay marriage is ok. marriage is a man and a woman. if you’re queer and want a civil union then fine, go for it. Leave the sanctity of marriage to those of us that believe in it. Stop adopting kids and completely messing up their heads because they don’t have a mommy and a daddy like other kids do. Instead they have 2 daddies or 2 mommies and have to try and figure that the hell out with their child minds all the while having to cope with the other kids that set them apart and ridicule them because of their f’d up family unit.
