If Apple accepts it, iPhone 5 is a possibility. I would guesss, Apple will look at it and then find another way of doing the same thing, avoiding licenses.

all notes and highlitghs can be accessed in the toolbar, but they are also turned into study cards (very cool)
glossary terms are also put into study cards that can be shuffled
everything looks very fluid
If you just want to read you put it on portrait mode.Brings engagement.

Have a few partners (Pearson, McGraw Hill, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. - 90% of books) and books are going to cost £10 or less. You'll find them under textbook cattegorie.
launching 4 books today.
Also working with E.O. Wilson foundation. - Life on earth book on store now. I think this is kind of a demo.
Finally Apple creates an SDK for books and mags. This is much more than school textbooks, this is going to change a lot of things including the way we consume magazines, the way publishers, especially individuals make their products known and the way they make money.
This for me is more like Appstore 2

not sure about this thing. There needs to be engagement on a personal level a feel, face to face. I get nervous every time Apple tries to do anything remotely social.
Apple knows that if they can get the brand into people on the early stages of their life, they are much more likely to stay around. And really, they just wanna sell hardware and make money -

take your old Mac, PC, iPod, iPhone or iPad -- working or not -- and send it to a company where it will be properly recycled. What's really nice is that in many cases, your recycling effort results in cash in your pocket. In some cases that amount can be minimal (£7 for an original 8 GB iPhone) or nonexistent, while others can end up with quite the wad of spendolas (£550 for a Mac Pro 3.33 GHz).

head on out to this page on the Apple UK site and see how much your old kit is worth.

"We showed the Samsung Chairman the technology with a Samsung Galaxy S that we had coated with HZO and he couldn't believe his eyes," a representative of the company told us. "Samsung is really excited by the tech."
The company has told us that they are also talking to Apple as well, hoping to be able to let Apple make the iPhone 5 waterproof. -

Again, Apple is fighting Android, not really motorola, especially as these patents are all software. I think sooner or later Google is going to suffer a big blow. It is coming, just watch.
But it sound like microsoft's strategy of doing the deals under the table, before they go to court as been more successful. Of course, Apple doesn't want money, but Android dead, but Microsoft is helping in a way.

ITC's preliminary decision on Friday, which must still be passed by the entire six-members of the commission, brings an end to a complaint first filed in October 2010 by Apple that alleged Motorola violated several of the iPhone maker's patents

latest lawsuits against Samsung have asked a German court to ban the sale of the Galaxy S II and nine other smartphones, along with five tablet models.

The new suit was filed in the Dusseldorf Regional Court and cites multiple patented designs owned by Apple in Europe, according to Bloomberg. A separate lawsuit also targets five Samsung tablets, and is related to a September ruling that barred sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1.

Thought that you’d like to know the BBC 5 Live Sports Extra are currently broadcasting live from Dubai, via an iPad and Skype. Total communications breakdown at the Test Match, but the iPad has saved them. They’re not supposed to advertise products on the Beeb, but it has been mentioned every couple of minutes for the past hour and a half.
