Apple's January Event

Speculation has started about a January Apple event in New York City. Back in mid-December I reported that a January event was happening. Kara Swisher reports that it has to do with a media-related announcement. Here is what I know from sources involved:

• This event will focus on iTunes University and Apple in education
• I learned of the event back in September when it was originally scheduled for late Fall in New York but it was eventually postponed. 
• The event will be in New York rather than in the Silicon Valley because New York is more centrally located for textbook and publishing. 
• This initiative has been in the making for years. 
• The announcement will be small in size but large in scope: a big announcement in a demure space. 
• I expect at least two large project announcements as they relate to Apple in education. 
• Steve Jobs was intimately involved with this project before his passing. He gave a hat tip to the textbook side of this project in the Isaacson biography. 
• This will not be a hardware-related announcement.
