Amazon recently announced that it would begin offering e-textbook rentals for the Kindle. Students can rent the e-textbooks from 30 to 360 days and save up to 80% on specific titles. The e-textbooks can be viewed on the Kindle and any device that lets you download the Kindle app. In other news, Time Warner recently launched live broadcasts of CNN and its affiliate channel HLN online and on iOS devices. If you’re a cable television subscriber to Comcast, Dish Network or Verizon, you can login to watch CNN’s simulcast. Time Warner is continuing to work with other cable providers to make the offering more widespread. And finally, according to a report by BoyGeniusReport, Apple will be offering a lower priced iPhone later this year. Apple’s low-cost phone will most likely be a contract-free $350 iPhone 3GS. The new pricing would finally give Apple low, mid and high-priced smartphones.
