Apple education event: Everything you need to know about iBooks 2, iBooks Author, iTunes U

The (now digital) ink has dried on Apple's education event, we've met the new apps, we've seen the new services, and we've gotten an idea of where Apple is heading when it comes to schools, textbooks, and learning. But just an idea. Like any 1.0 product, this stuff is the broad strokes and there are tons of details left for Apple hammer out over the next year -- heck, over the next decade.

If you missed any of iMore's extensive coverage, we can't blame you -- there was a ton of it! -- but we will give you a chance to catch up. Below you'll find links to Apple's video of the education event itself, along with our live commentary podcast, and all of our hands-on videos, reader feedback, and quick takes on iBooks 2, Textbooks, iBooks Author, iTunes U, and everything else that went down today. We'll have a bit more follow up tomorrow, but this is it for now. Put your feet up, grab a tasty beverage, and have at it!
