McGraw-Hill CEO confirms Apple’s tablet

It’s been rumored for years, we’ve suspected it’s coming tomorrow, but McGraw-Hill’s CEO has confirmed it on CNBC — The tablet is real, according to a story on MacRumors.

If you had any doubts that Apple is going to release a tablet tomorrow, the CNBC segment should put them to rest. During an interview with CNBC, Terry McGraw didn’t even beat around the bush — he just came right out and answered the questions.

“Yeah, Very exciting. Yes, they’ll make their announcement tomorrow on this one. We have worked with Apple for quite a while. And the Tablet is going to be based on the iPhone operating system and so it will be transferable. So what you are going to be able to do now — we have a consortium of e-books. And we have 95% of all our materials that are in e-book format on that one. So now with the tablet you’re going to open up the higher education market, the professional market. The tablet is going to be just really terrific.”

Well, there you go.

Well, I very much hope that McGraw-Hill gets relegated to a very low echelon in terms of product placement and promotion. What a friggin tool

Did you guys consider the possibility that this was a controlled leak that Apple allowed? Keep all possibilities open, mkay?

The one thing you can be absolutely certain of is that Steve Jobs knew about this, planned it and approved it. Its the way Apple do things.

I'm pretty sure Steve knows about this. Otherwise Terry McGraw would already have been killed by ninjas.

That was not a planned leak. If it was, McGraw-Hill would have been listed on the slide with the other publishers after the intro of the iBook app. After all, they "have 95% of all [their] materials that are in e-book format on that one", right? I would bet fifty bucks that McGraw-Hill was on that slide before the Terry McGraw interview.
