Orange could be with Apple soon

The mobile broadband provider Orange is said to be very close to finalising a deal with Apple, with a view to providing MacBooks in one of its mobile broadband packages.

Obviously the idea of getting a free Apple MacBook with a mobile broadband contract is a little out of the question.

The offer will probably be in the form of a monthly figure to pay for the MacBook and another monthly sum for the mobile broadband service.

Usually the cost of Orange’s mobile broadband will be around £24 per month but that is for a bundle that offers an Asus Eee PC.

There are also deals or bundles that offer Toshiba and HP Compaq computers.

This deal with Apple, if it does get the go ahead, is not likely to become available until the summer.
