CEO of US publishing giant McGraw-Hill, Terry McGraw, has confirmed in an interview the existence of the Apple [AAPL] Tablet. Although we pretty much know it is real from all the information that has been leaked over the last few months, this confirmation adds a significant layer of credibility to the rumors.
In an interview with CNBC’s Earnings Central financial news program, McGraw responded to a question about the Apple tablet, saying that they had been working with Apple for quite a while. This collaboration suggests that Apple has been planning to integrate educational and professional content into their new device, potentially revolutionizing how digital content is consumed.
Apple Tablet Based on iPhone OS
McGraw also stated that the Apple Tablet is going to be based on the iPhone OS, so it will be transferable. This means that users who are already familiar with the iPhone’s interface will find the transition to the tablet seamless. The iPhone OS, known for its user-friendly interface and robust app ecosystem, will likely make the Apple Tablet a versatile device suitable for a wide range of applications, from reading e-books to managing professional tasks.
He also mentioned that they have 95% of all their content ready to go on the new tablet. This indicates that McGraw-Hill has been proactive in preparing their digital content for the new platform, ensuring that users will have access to a vast library of educational and professional materials right from the start. This move could set a precedent for other publishers to follow, further enriching the content ecosystem of the Apple Tablet.
Anticipation and Speculation
It will be interesting to see if the Apple Tablet is indeed based on the iPhone OS. The anticipation surrounding the device has reached a fever pitch, with tech enthusiasts and industry experts speculating on its features and capabilities. Will it support multitasking? How will it handle app compatibility? These are just some of the questions that will be answered once the device is officially unveiled.
We will keep you updated later today when Apple announces it (or not) at their special event. The tech world is on the edge of its seat, waiting to see if Apple will once again redefine a product category as they did with the iPhone and iPod.
