Apple kondigt 19 Januari in New York iets aan.
Er zijn de afgelopen weken al geruchten geweest over Apple en boeken in de educatieve sector - iBooks-uitbreidingen om dit te faciliteren zoals hier (AllThingsD, 3 Jan), beter uitgelegd door MacRumors:
Bron: http://www.macrumors.com/2012/01/03/apples-january-media-event-to-involve-digital-textbooks-and-education/- This event will focus on iTunes University and Apple in education
- I learned of the event back in September when it was originally scheduled for late Fall in New York but it was eventually postponed.
- The event will be in New York rather than in the Silicon Valley because New York is more centrally located for textbook and publishing.
- This initiative has been in the making for years.
- The announcement will be small in size but large in scope: a big announcement in a demure space.
- I expect at least two large project announcements as they relate to Apple in education.
- Steve Jobs was intinimately [sic] involved with this project before his passing. He gave a hat tip to the textbook side of this project in the Isaacson biography.
- This will not be a hardware-related announcement.
And based on information from our own sources, we believe the announcement could likely involve support for the EPUB 3 standard, which enables a wider variety of multimedia and interaction features. [...]
Incidentally, one source who has worked with Apple to integrate technology in education recently suggested that Apple may have important changes coming to its iBooks platform directed specifically toward the academic set. Digital textbooks represent another nascent market that Apple could potentially upend as it did with music and mobile apps.
