We'd
heard it was coming, and for the second year in a row, Apple has disrupted the natural flow of
CES by announcing an event
of its own. Granted, this one -- slated to be held January 19th at the Guggenheim Museum -- is packing far fewer implications than the
Verizon iPhone event of 2011, but suffice it to say, anyone who enjoys "learning" should be tuning in later this month. If you'll recall, it was reported by
TechCrunch that the event would be entirely related to publishing, with no new hardware on tap; Fox's own Clayton Morris
followed up to say that it'd have something to do with iTunes. We're guessing it'll link somehow to iTunes U, and considering that Apple hasn't made a major public push into the land of EDU since the
eMac, perhaps it's time that the company got things like
Reading Rainbow into the hands of dazed and confused grade-schoolers everywhere.
