The late Steve Jobs was honored with a Grammy Trustees Award
on Saturday for his contributions to the music industry, which included helping
to develop the iPod and reshaping the way music is sold with the iTunes Store.
The award is meant to “recognize contributions to the music
industry in areas other than performance,” CBS News reports, and was accepted by Apple’s SVP of
Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue.
“Accepting this award means so much to me because music meant
so much to him,” Cue said at the awards ceremony. “He told us that music shaped
his life. It made him who he was. Everyone who knows Steve knows the profound
impact that artists like Bob Dylan and the Beatles had on him.”
Apple was previously awarded a technical Grammy in 2002, but
this award is meant specifically for Jobs. Other recipients of this year’s
Trustees Awards include band leader Dave Bartholomew and jazz engineer Rudy Van
Gelder. Past winners include Walt Disney and The Beatles, company that we’re
sure Jobs wouldn’t mind standing alongside.

Rumor has it Apple will release the iPad 3 on February 24, 2012 in honor of Steve Jobs’ birthday. Asian manufacturers are apparently working up a sweat trying to prepare the third-generation iPad for that date.After the iPhone 4S successfully took the tech market by storm, the iPad3 is widely expected to be Apple’s first hit product to be released next year. Industry sources said the first shipment of the iPad3 could exceed 4 million units. The sources said all OEM and ODM makers have exercised great caution in ensuring the smooth operations of their production lines. If true, we’re just two months away from a shiny new iPad.
February 24th is slightly under one year after the iPad 2 was released, and the iPad 2 was released slightly under one year after the first iPad was released. The iPad 3 could be the most challenging of them all to manufacture since recent reports suggest it will have
