McGraw-Hill Claims They Were Not Booted Off iPad Launch
January 29, 2010
If you were monitoring the rumors surrounding the iPad before its actual launch, you’ll certainly have come across the essay we posted about Mr. McGraw commenting on the Apple tablet before the event. It was stated that a lot of their subject matter would be on the tablet, but when the announcement came about, and iBooks was on demo, there was no mention of McGraw-Hill, leading to much speculation that they’d been booted off the launch, due to the leak. It’s hard to tell what really transpired, but we do know the reality that they were not mentioned during the launch. Steven Weiss, VP of corporate communications for the McGraw-Hill Companies, did issue a statement, claiming that they were not involved in the process, and whatever was said before was just speculation. What do you think? It reads:
"As a company deeply involved in the digitization of education and business knowledge, we were as interested as anyone in the launch of the new device, although we were never part of the launch event and never in a position to confirm details about the device ahead of day,"
"On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. McGraw arisen on CNBC in a wide-ranging interview to discuss our earnings announcement and growth projections for 2010. His speculative comments about Apple's pending launch, which he shared earlier in the day in a shout with investors, were simply intended to propose that whether the new device were to use iPhone applications, many of our education products would be compatible with the technology and could be made easily available on it."

Mitsubishi parades really large OLED display
January 27, 2010
So the rumored Apple tablet will purportedly come with an OLED display, although there are quarters who have a counterpoint in claiming Samsung has more than ample on their hands to be able to fulfill Apple's demands, but Mitsubishi takes the cake where OLED display size is concerned with a new OLED concept which comprises of 10cm x 10cm square units, measuring a diagonal length of 149".

iSlate Advertisement Video?
January 27, 2010
At that point, it’s getting really hard to sift through what’s real and what’s fake. We did come across that “iSlate advertisement”, which does seem rather cool. The video seems nice and clean, though whether it’s real, it certain seems to indicate that our fingers are going to be doing a lot of dancing on the Apple tablet (dubbed iSlate in that video). Anyways, fake or real, it seems like a little bit of casual fun before we hit the nitty gritty of the upcoming event, so stay tuned!

Apple Tablet Pictured With iPhone
January 27, 2010
Go figure, you hunt and wait for months to get a glimpse of Apple’s upcoming tablet, and suddenly more than 1 picture of it surfaces. Granted they’re from the same source and batch, but that doesn’t stop us wishing we had more pictures (and earlier too). Aside from that picture we showed you earlier, that picture has an iPhone lying on top of the device, giving you a rough comparison and a general notion of the size of the device. Could that be a front-facing camera on the other end of the tablet, or are there 2 home buttons? The picture isn’t clear adequate, so it looks like we’re going to have to wait another hour or two.

Is that The Real Apple Tablet?
January 27, 2010
Now how about that, an eleventh hour leak on the Apple tablet perhaps? As far as faked tablets go, that one seems to be rather plausible. It does seem to look like a giant iPhone, and the ugly things on the side of it are probably the bolts that are holding the tablet down on the tablet, preventing anybody from stealing it. There’s no indication of a carrier at the moment, but there are plenty of whispers indicating that Verizon might be involved. Could that be what we’ll be seeing in a few hours time? The reply should be out rather soon. On a side note, it’s said that the internal cipher name for the tablet is “K48”, and we might plus see an iLife ’10 announcement at the event. certain looks like it’s going to be a blast! Remember to keep in touch with the event live via live.ubergizmo.com!
