Publishers Eyeing Apple Tablet

on 10/03/2009, filed in Home > Apple

After Apple’s amazing success with the iPhone, it’s no surprise to hear rumors of an Apple tablet, which has been going around for some time now. It does seem that there is some credibility to the whole thing, especially since latest reports state that a group led by Time Inc. is looking to come up with a digital store for magazines and sell their content in digital format. With the success the iPhone has had, it’s not surprise that publishers are drooling over Amazon’s Kindle and the rumored Apple Tablet. In the latest reports, it seems that Apple isn’t too happy with the approach that the publishers want to take, which shouldn’t be too surprising to anybody, especially since Apple is well known for doing things their way. It will certainly be interesting to see what kind of tablet device Apple will come up with, and how it will affect the market.

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.

The iPhone was released to the public in June of the same year. The development of the iPhone started in 2004, was internally called "project purple" and was the fruit of a collaboration between Apple and AT&T. Since then, Apple has released new iPhone models every year, with the iPhone 3G in July 2008, the iPhone 3GS in June 2009, the iPhone 4 in June 2010, the iPhone 4S in October 2011 and the iPhone 5 in September 2012. The iPhone represented more than half of Apple's revenues in 2012.
