Kno, the high-profile Silicon Valley start-up trying to jump-start a market for tablets focused on students, announced tonight that it will have a limited number available by the end of the year for sale at prices of $599 and $899. The lower price is for its single-screen device, while the clamshell double-screen version is more expensive. Kno would not say exactly how many it has ordered for its first tablet production run–the device is being built by China’s Foxconn–but co-founder and CEO Osman Rashid said in an interview earlier today that units would number “in the thousands.”

Not because I like Betty more, but because it ended the long-running love triangle that has been going for almost 70 years. But apparently, the story is not over, because the whole thing is part of a six-story arc, which includes Archie marrying both Veronica and Betty and having twins with each. And, you can see it all on your iPhone.

While circulation remained steady at Gourmet at just under one million monthly paying subscribers, Condé Nast Chief Executive Officer Chuck Townsend pointed to a fall-off in advertising spending by luxury brands that result in a money-losing mess. But some are blaming a movement of readers to the Web. Is it true?
