Apple Itablet

Hours ahead of Apple’s top secret product launch of what’s believed to be its revolutionary tablet computer, a publishing boss in America has spilled the beans about the product.

In an interview on American business network CNBC, the chairman of publishing giant McGraw-Hill has let slip a handful of previously unknown facts about the computer, which he refers to as the ‘tablet’ and the ‘tabloid’.

“We have worked with Apple for quite a while - the tablet is going to be based on the iPhone operating system, and so it will be transferable,” said Terry McGraw.

So what you're going to be able to do now... we have a consortium of ebooks - we have 95% of all our materials that are in ebook format on that one - so with the tabloid you're going to open up the higher education market, the professional market. The tabloid, the tablet is going to be just really terrific.”

This leak won’t impress Apple head honcho Steve Jobs who, not only likes to keep his company’s secrets secret, but also has a fiery temper.

Maybe those ebooks won’t be making their way onto the new Apple device after all.
