A tablet computing device may be launched by Apple this week that is said to do what the iPhone did to the telecommunications scenario and the iTunes did to the music world according to Kevin Grewal.
Steve Jobs, the Apple CEO expects the product to bring great deal of innovation into the media industry through the repackaging and reselling of media content. The main aim of this device is to take the media efficiency into the homes as it enables multiple users to watch television, read news and emails. As per ‘The Wall Street Journal’, Apple is negotiating with television networks such as Walt Disney and CBS for introducing a TV subscription service.
In addition to this, the company is also believed to be negotiating with NewsCorp and New York Times for making a deal for newspapers, magazines and books. The latest earnings report of Apple even took “The Wall Street Journal’ by surprise. The overall revenue and the sales of Apple phones beat the expectations of everyone. However, it is believed that their new product will revolutionize the media industry and thereby increasing the revenue considerably.
