More news on Apple’s releases during 2012 – Part 1

The start of the New Year made way for more Apple rumours and the company has been targeted on numerous fronts. First prediction is regarding the Consumer Electronic Show 2012 that starts this Monday, January 9, and Apple is rumoured to showcase some new
products and services at the event.

The Cupertino-based outfit is expected to announce a number of new applications at the show, though there are no signs of a physical product to be launched, only software. Apple saves its flagship products for the designated conference the like the WWDC
(World Wide Developer’s Conference) that normally goes underway in June.

One of the highlighted application that Apple is expected to launch at the show is the upgraded version of its e-book reader called iBooks that will now be able to run epub format in addition to PDF and Apple’s own iWork formats. The application is expected
to be majorly revamped to become more interactive and readable, with tweaks like the change of font family, bold and magnification of the text.

There are many other applications that might surface during the show but the main reason why this news is catch attraction is that many of the applications will hint the launch of a new iPad, rumoured to be named the iPad 3. The iBooks reinforcements might
also be linked to the release of a new tablet from Apple.

Earlier in 2011, Apple was rumoured to release a new product to cater to a different industry, the home entertainment. So far, the company has only tried to diverge itself to music industry and mobile communications, that can be vaguely connected to Apple’s
forte of personal computing.

However, this new development in news is not a rumour. Late Steve Jobs, cofounder of Apple, was quoted in his biography, authored by Walter Isaacson in 2011, stating that he has cracked the secret to home entertainment and television viewing, and would love
to develop a new television.
