...work the same magic for the publishing industry? Jobs once said he had no interest in creating an e-reader - "People don't read" - but Apple is rumored to be working on an iPod Touch-like device with a 7-in. or 9-in. (18 cm or 23 cm) screen, big enough to comfortably read...
Even more industry buzz these days surrounds Plastic Logic, a Silicon Valley stealth start-up just north of Apple.

The film has been honored by the Screen Actors Guild, the Golden Globes, and the Producers Guild.
