McGraw Hill CEO Lets The Apple Tablet Out of the Bag
Well, duh, Apple is coming out with a tablet announcement tomorrow. We have been all a-twitter (in more ways than one) about it.
But there is still that reservation in the back of our minds-is there a tablet or not. I mean, Steve Jobs said that this is the biggest project of his life.Could there be something even bigger?
Well, it better be WOW!
Today CEO, Terry McGraw, of McGraw Hill (you know, textbooks) let the cat out of the bag in an interview on CNBC:
“Yeah, Very exciting. Yes, they’ll make their announcement tomorrow on this one. We have worked with Apple for quite a while. And the Tablet is going to be based on the iPhone operating system and so it will be transferable. So what you are going to be able to do now is we have a consortium of e-books. And we have 95% of all our materials that are in e-book format on that one. So now with the tablet you’re going to open up the higher education market, the professional market. The tablet is going to be just really terrific.”
