Apple is organizing a new event this jan 27.
Nothing official, but for sure it may concern the already famous new tablet (internet codename iSlate). It should be expensive (1.000 $ ?)
On a previous article we were asking question about ebook strategy on this device at apple ; support for ebooks, newspaper, etc ?
Will it be via a dedicated store (application) ? via the current iTunes store (which is already selling audio, video and application contents). Probably via the iTunes store. Will the device be closed ? only opened to bought and signed content (like for iphone applications) ?
Today we were having some kind of confirmation concerning the gloabl ebook strategy on this device. According to the WSJ (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704541004575011092145509872.html), some negociation are currenlty happening between Apple and HarperCollins (belongs to NewsCorp).
Real, not real ? Strange to have this kind of announce few days before the launch. but for sure, we can take this as a confirmation, Apple tablet will be a dematerialization device.
