Yeah, that's presumably the last time McGraw-Hill get to do any pre-release deals with Apple. It's not clear to me how that stunt is a net gain to them.

#4iPhone-based OS. I wonder if everything will have to go through an App-store? Annoying if so.

#62 options:
1) Legally incompetent CEO of a major international corporation
2) Another controlled leak from Apple.
Which do you think is more likely?

In all seriousness, option (1). There's no upside to leaking this 24 hours in advance of actually announcing it when hype is already at fever pitch.
And if you need examples of hilariously incompetent CEOs I refer you to the automotive and banking industries.

About 18 months ago I was driving on the 101 near Mountain View, headed north at 10pm or so, when a white Mercedes with no plate zoomed past me. I was doing 70, it must have been going over 100.
Always wondered if that was Steve.

I don't think there was ever a reasonable chance of anything else. I mean, if you're Apple, why do anything else? For the most part consumers clearly love to use the App Store. It has serious review process and barrier to entry issues, but those can be fixed over time (hopefully) and as long as there is an active audience, vendors will continue to come.
