Apple unveiled a new touch screen device Wednesday that CEO Steve Jobs has reportedly called “the most important thing I’ve ever done.” The tablet device has a touch screen, serves as an e-reader, plays videos and music and runs iPhone apps. Some publishers of books, magazines and newspapers think the device could give a boost to their beleaguered industries.
