Apple : Apple New York event to focus on education? |
| Apple New York event to focus on education? Posted:  Reports on Tuesday suggest that Apple's yet-to-be-confirmed New York announcement will focus on education. The rumoured event, which is set to take place in New York sometime this month, will bring improvements to iTunes University and may see Apple offer textbooks through the iBooks platform. The extra details come courtesy of Fox News Columnist Clayton Morris who brings news from sources involved in the project and claims the initiative has been in the works for years. Morris reckons Steve Jobs was "intimately" involved with the plans until his passing in October last year. He also reasserts AllThingsD's claim that the announcement may be in a small venue, but be a "big announcement ... large in scope." Publishing homeMorris thinks that Apple has chosen to host the event in New York rather than in San Francisco as the East Coast is a more natural setting for a publishing announcement. He also added that the event was first scheduled for autumn of 2011, but was postponed until the New Year. |
| Apple planning New York 'media-related' event Posted:  Apple is set to make a media-related announcement at an event in New York later this month, according to reports. The AllThingsD blog has been told by 'sources familiar with the matter' that an important event is coming to the Big Apple. The announcement, says the article, is likely to be related to publishing or advertising rather than a new iPad or the rumoured Apple iTV project, which would surely be unveiled on Apple's home turf. Eddy on CueAllThingsD's Kara Swisher also reckons that Apple's Senior VP of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue is behind the event. The last time Apple held an event in New York was last year's launch of The Daily iPad-exclusive digital newspaper. There's been no official comment on the matter from Apple. |
