Were you wondering about the economics behind Apple’s new e-textbooks ? Well, it turns out that Cupertino is giving authors the ability to set their own prices as long as they remain $14.99 or under. In exchange, Apple takes a 30 percent cut, and requires authors take an oath of fealty to Tim Cook — ok, not really, but any e-textbook author that wants access to the iPad-toting masses must make his or her work an exclusive to iBooks 2.

In a post on Facebook the company announced that it would begin rolling out the latest version of the Android OS to its flagship tablet starting January 12th. The post isn’t all celebration and back pats however, ASUS takes time to thank its customers for their patience before addressing the elephants in the room — GPS and the locked bootloader . While it does acknowledge there is an issue with GPS signal, thanks to the metal unibody construction, the company does skirt responsibility by claiming the Transformer is “not a professional GPS device” and admits to removing the feature from its specs and marketing materials.
