Tablet Device Looks to Repackage TV, Magazines…
The Wall Street Journal have published details of how Apple will revamp the print industry with the release of its Tablet and become a family device.
With the new tablet device that is debuting next week, Apple Inc. Chief Executive Steve Jobs is betting he can reshape businesses like textbooks, newspapers and television much the way his iPod revamped the music industry—and expand Apple’s influence and revenue as a content middleman.
In developing the device, Apple focused on the role the gadget could play in homes and in classrooms, say people familiar with the situation. The company envisions that the tablet can be shared by multiple family members to read news and check email in homes, these people say.
There is also talk to facial recognition to identify the person using the device….
Is there a market for books in the US???
