We'd heard it was coming, and for the second year in a row, Apple has disrupted the natural flow of CES by announcing an event of its own. Granted, this one -- slated to be held January 19th at the Guggenheim Museum -- is packing far fewer implications than the [url="http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/11/live-from-verizons-iphone-event/"]Verizon iPhone event[/url] of 2011, but suffice it to say, anyone who enjoys "learning" should be tuning in later this month. If you'll recall, it was reported by [i]TechCrunch[/i] that the event would be entirely related to publishing, with no new hardware on tap; Fox's own Clayton Morris [url="http://claytonmorris.com/blog/2012/1/3/apples-january-event.html"]followed up[/url] to say that it'd have something to do with iTunes. We're guessing it'll link somehow to iTunes U, and considering that Apple hasn't made a major public push into the land of EDU since the [url="http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/05/apple-drops-new-educational-imac-kills-off-emac/"]eMac[/url], perhaps it's time that the company got things like Reading Rainbow into the hands of dazed and confused grade-schoolers everywhere.
