Apple Up To Same Old, New Devices With Rumored "Tablet"

Posted by Barry Silverstein on October 1, 2009 04:09 PM

It's only a rumor, says Wired, but Apple is widely thought to be launching another innovative product as early as January. Some think this electronic device could save print media from oblivion.

The so-called "Apple Tablet" is thought to be a 10-inch screen, possibly as part of a new iPod Touch/iPhone gadget. The new device would potentially compete withAmazon's e-book reader, Kindle. But it could be more than that, says Wired: "...an Apple tablet would specialize in reviving dead-tree media (i.e., newspapers, magazines and books)."

Speculation has been fueled by supposed talks between Apple and The New York Times, and possibly with several magazine publishers.

As Interbrand's Best Global Brands 2009 report observed, Apple is "among the most iconic of relatively young brands in the world." Ranked as the number 20 global brand, and with its Brand Value up 12% in a dismal year, Apple’s ability to reinvent has become one the brand’s most valuable trademarks. Fueled by the leadership of industry icon, the seemingly resurgent Steve Jobs, the company is building on its history of developing products that anticipate, or create, the future—which makes speculation about the Apple tablet all the more compelling.

Will Kindle fire up enough competition to cure the ills of traditional print media, or will Apple's latest product be the future of publishing?

Assassin’s Creed 3 PC Game Review 2010 says:

Assassin’s Creed 3 PC Game

Revenge, secrecy, charisma, death and honor. The legendary Renaissance murderer.

Ubisoft is working on Assassin’s Creed 3 PC Game:
The least surprising news!. Ubisoft wants to continue with the trilogies in video games (saga Bioshock) and have already announced that Assassin’s Creed 3 (PC).

Vincent Pontbriand The producer says that “Ubisoft is already thinking about Assassin’s Creed 3,” has said nothing more just that the time later than the first game. In addition there will be downloadable content for Assassin’s Creed 2 (PC) and little else.

Now our turn your imagination on the third place, time, character, history, etc.. I say that the third is a female ninja in feudal Japan to complete the loop the loop.

A few days ago we announced that Ubisoft was planning to launch this year an “episode” with online multiplayer modes of Assassin’s Creed, after which we all wonder if it would be a new installment of the series or just downloadable content for Assassin’s Creed 2. Now, thanks to Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO, we can confirm that Assassin’s Creed 3 is in development.

Assassin’s Creed 3 will be a sequel to Assassin’s Creed 2, and its star will be Auditore Ezio Da Firenze. Its development is being conducted by several teams, including the creators of the second installment, to obtain maximum quality in Story mode and the Online, and is scheduled to be on sale before March 2011.

Too soon? Perhaps. Precisely this point that arises in this notice has not been named “Assassin’s Creed III ‘at any time, not least because what we have coming is more a’ Assassin’s Creed 2,5 ‘. A continuation of the adventures of Ezio, with all the repayment of money in design, development and history that entails. We are in crisis what do you want?

I was wondering when Apple would take the lead in the neo-paperbound media revival. I think it would be a sensible move for Apple as there are no other competitors beside Kindel. This potential 10inch screen tablet-iPod-iPhone-reader-designing space-skype integrator could prove useful in so many ways and industries.

I believe this brand extension will be successful if carefully planned, constructed and integrated with both iTunes and Amazon.
