According to livemint.com, a recent change in retail laws that will allow for 100% foreign ownership of single-brands may result in Apple expanding their highly successful retail chain into India.
Rene, Leanna, and Seth bring you live color, commentary, and analysis of Apple’s New York education event, including iBooks 2, Textbooks, iBooks Author, and iTunes U. What does it mean
The (now digital) ink has dried on Apple’s education event, we’ve met the new apps, we’ve seen the new services, and we’ve gotten an idea of where Apple is heading when it comes to schools, textbooks, and learning.
Following Apple’s iBooks Author announcement today, word started to circulate that content made with Apple’s app could only be sold in Apple’s iBookstore. Author’s could freely distribute the work, but they couldn’t sell it elsewhere.
Fresh from the Apple Education event, Apple has posted the video they showed off highlighting iBooks 2 and their new Textbooks initiative.
While we’ve been referring to Apple’s next generation iPad as iPad 3, according to 9to5Mac Chinese accessory maker Chinee has gone and gambled on iPad 2S — not only the name, but the form factor as well, producing what might just be the first case for the unannounced, unspecified tablet.
Today at 10am ET, 7am PT, 3pm GMT Apple will be holding their education event in New York City, and we’ll be following on meta-live blog style, adding our commentary
While CES 2012 has come and gone the technology shown off will have a lasting impact throughout the year ahead. As usual, Apple did not have an official presence, but also as usual iPhone and iPad accessory makers we boundless. This year, however, we began to see a real move away from the tradition protective cases, charging cables, and other, terribly boring accessories. When we geeks were the main market, all we wanted was the basics. Now that the mainstream is the main market, the basics are table stakes. They want to see what’s next, what’s special, what’s different. From the fun and frivolous speakers, copters, cabinets, and drones to full on automotive integration, to the oncoming wave of eHealth accessories, the iPhone and iPad are becoming the de facto interface for the future.
AppleInsider is rumoring that Apple’s education event will include a textbook initiative codenamed “Bliss”, inspired in part by current Apple board member and past Vice President of United States, Al Gore’s Our Choice ebook app.
