Hi,

I am going on hiatus from posting daily to my Apple News Day blog so that I can devote that time to starting a different project.

You can always refer to the AND Blog Archive on the right hand side of the home page: Apple News Day

Thanks for following AND

In the interim, here is a list of my most frequently visited sites.

Apple's ITunes Would Be One of World's Biggest Media Companies


"By itself, Apple's iTunes (which was just updated) and App stores, which hawk everything from movies and music to books and newspaper subscriptions, make more money than The New York Times; Simon & Schuster, which publishes the best-selling "Steve Jobs" biography; Warner Bros. film studios, which owns the popular Batman film franchise; and Time Inc., the largest magazine publisher in the U.S.
Combined."
