and manufacturers who were caught flat-footed by Apple. Misek also said Sharp is
reconfiguring its factory in Sakai specifically to build screens for Apples new

game apps. Up until now, Apples subscription payments were restricted to apps
like digital magazines and newspapers. As of this writing, Anthony John Agnello
