The Loop reports that Apple has sent out media invitations for an "education announcement" to be made at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City on Thursday, January 19.
Word of the event first surfaced last week, and sources have indicated that the announcement will relate to publishing, with digital textbooks perhaps playing a major role.
Update: The New York Times confirms that the event will focus on digital textbooks and that no new hardware will be introduced.
The event will showcase a new push by Apple into the digital textbook business, but will not feature any new devices, according to a person briefed on the event who did not want to be identified talking about it before it occurs.

(View all)I have a hard time seeing the NY skyline without thinking of 9/11. Maybe not the best marketing move by Apple.
Oh please. :rolleyes:
please! no iPad-based textbooks for kids. the glare is horrible and strains the eyes.
if distributing textbooks please use eInk.
think of the kids for God's sake!
You mean the kids carrying 30lb backpacks home from middle school, often using one should strap?

Really? The NYC skyline is the most iconic skyline in the world and is used in everything from snow globes to big budget Hollywood films. 9/11 was tragic but it's is not going to stop anyone from using the amazing NYC skyline. Also it looks like Apple is portraying midtown Manhattan and not lower Manhattan which means you have no point.
The re-birth of the eMac !
The return of the eMac!!!
The ePad… hmm.It seems un-Apple-ish to release products only centered on education, though.
What world do you live in?
Reference the entire line of LC Macs and add the eMac. It may have been a while since they last did it, but it's very Apple-ish to release products only centered on education.
