Apple, Inc. News:  A market research firm recently predicted Apple will ship 300 million tablets before the end of the year, further building the anticipation for Quantum International Corp.'s release of its innovative new line of iPad cases into the $2.3 billion iPad accessories market. Respected market research firm Gartner predicts the tech business will continue to flourish through the second half of 2013, with tablet sales seeing a 67.9 percent increase from last year. There are likely many reasons for the increase, including the predicted release of the fifth generation iPad later this summer, consumers opting for the lighter, mobile tablet over bulky PCs, and the increased use of iPads by professionals such as pilots, contractors and medical personnel.

Intel Corp. the computer-chip giant, announced late last week it will enter a crowded field of companies offering alternatives to Comcast Corp. and traditional pay-TV services.  This year, the Santa Clara, Calif., company plans to sell a set-top box that streams content from the Internet onto a TV.  Intel's self-install set-top box will come with a bundle of live local TV, ad-supported cable channels, and premium cable. There will be no need for professional installers, an Intel spokesman said. The company will market the box and service under a new brand yet to be disclosed. It will be Intel's first direct-to-consumer product in many years.
