However, having secured this patent Apple could be positioned to be a player in 2013 when Intel’s 3rd generation Ultrabooks are expected on the market. These are said to include a pivoting notebook lid that would form a tablet computer. Potentially this patent could interfere with those plans.

Other patents published today dealt with multi-touch, media syncing, calendaring, text-to-speech, authentication, video encoders, and other technologies.
