Is the Apple tablet finally out of the bag? Apple’s infamous curtain of secrecy may have just been busted by one of its close business partners. Appearing on CNBC this afternoon, McGraw-Hill CEO Terry McGraw — whose ebooks would be a natural candidate for the tablet — said “the tablet is going to be really terrific.”
MacRumors has the full transcript of the relevant segment of the interview, which begins at the 2:50 mark in the CNBC clip below:
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 is 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.”
