People close to Apple have reportedly spilled the beans on a media-related event that will happen in New York City before January ends.
The announcement likely will not involve the iPad 3, Apple TV or other interactive television efforts, suggests All Things D, adding that the event may focus on a small-scale advertising or publishing revelation.
Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Internet Software and Services, reportedly will be in attendance, All Things D adds: “Cue is in charge of a large swath of Apple’s media units, including the iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, as well as iAd and its iCloud services.”
