January 21st, 2010 | Author: jared premo
Apple is looking at ways tv, magazine and newspaper content can be presented. The tablet is expected to make it debut at the event Apple has Planned on January 27th. Apple is also looking at ways to incorporate gaming into the functions of the tablet. Apple is reported to be working with video game publishers.
Apple reportedly is talking to many service providers to deliver content to the device. For magazine content, Apple is talking with companies including The New York Times, Conde Nast Publications and News Corp., the report said. Apple is also negotiating with CBS and Walt Disney to deliver monthly TV subscription services.
Apple is reportedly also talking to HarperCollins Publishers to sell electronic books for the tablet. As part of the deal, HarperCollins will set its own price for the e-books, from which Apple will get a cut. Apple’s purchase of streaming music provider Lala.com in December has also been linked to the tablet. (pcworld)
Apple hasn’t said they are going to announce the tablet, however they have sent out invitations for the 27th event where the tablet is expected to be launched. The device has been rumored to be a larger version of the iPhone, with a 10 inch touch screen and a virtual keyboard.
Kai-Fu Lee, a former Apple employee and previously the head of Google in China, recently blogged that the tablet would come with 3D graphics and a price tag below US$1,000.
