Your readers are skeptical that BarMax, the application for the iPhone that offers a complete system of preparing the law of $ 1000, would be too big a splash in the preparation of Community law. But apparently that's exactly what happened - three weeks later, BarBri, one of the more traditional competitors for the new application, has made significant changes in their prices and services that seem designed to keep students out of law BarMax. First, we decided to offer full online access free of charge to every student who takes courses (do not know how much they charge before, but it used to be an additional cost). Second, in direct opposition to buy "BarMax once, always use" agreement, which allowed students to save at least $ 2000 each time you retake the test courses, offering free resumes too.

That's pretty incredible. Just to offer a much cheaper alternative through the Apple iPhone platform, BarMax has already begun to renovate the entire business. Of course, I could not say anything about the quality of these two programs (and while BarMax or BarBri worth using at all), but clearly BarBri scents danger in the wind. It is not only possible to publish the contents of the old way that even a competitor has a cheaper alternative through the channels and the App Store model is as cheap as a channel you can get.

Imagine what will happen when the iBook open and launches iPad of the revolution in publishing education that everyone is talking about. In the next twelve months will be very interesting for the customers of textbooks and / or publishers.
