When you want to know about iPad news, who ya gonna call? Elton John, it seems. Sir Elton John predicts an April launch date for Apple’s new tablet in a series of interviews to promote his new movie project “Gnomeo and Juliet.”

“I’m a Luddite. 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,” the singer/songwriter said in an interview with “The Telegraph.” “But this is going to be a problem for me because they’re coming out with a Skype iPad in April and I’ve got to get one because I want to see my son when I’m not there — I’ll have to enter the world of technology.”

“Our main question is whether Elton has merely been reading the same blogosphere speculation as us (or, more accurately given his comments, whether someone who’s on his payroll to read blogosphere speculation has been telling him about the iPad 2 rumours),” says “CNET UK” (http://macte.ch/CzbQs). “Or does Elton have inside info about the device’s launch date?
Okay, probably the former. Perhaps Apple will give John and partner David Furnish a pair ahead of the launch.”
