This new piece of technology from Apple will allow users to conveniently download movies, games, and read digital books.

Conversely, a staggering 25 percent drop in the purchase music hard-goods such as CD's and albums indicates that the market is shifting.

A lot of mystery still surrounds the release of the Apple Tablet. For example, an official name of the product has yet to be announced. Also a price point is still undetermined. Speculation is that the product can range in price from $699-$1500, or perhaps more.
