Apple Posts Quicktime Stream Of Event, Apple Store Down

[MacRumors]

http://www.macrumors.com/images/macrumorsthreadlogo.gif (http://www.macrumors.com)

Apple has posted an MPEG-4 video-on-demand stream (http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/sep_2006/event/index.html) of today's special announcement. It is unclear whether it will be broadcasting live or whether it will be a replay of the event as Apple has done in the past and as AppleInsider has claimed (http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2033). Either way, MacRumors will be providing coverage of the event as it unfolds using our state-of-the-art MacRumorsLive service.

Also, as many of you have already noticed, the Apple Store (http://store.apple.com/) has gone down for updates.

[Dan8302]

I hope they show it live, that would be so cool

[joe8232]

When i click on the link for the quicktime stream it does say live stream paused. would this indicate that it is a live stream? What time is the event starting?

[TheMasin9]

its not working yet

[BeefUK]

Me too i'm gettin bored doing work this afternoon!!!

[Josias]

Doesn't play in QT with me.

[TJJ]

Yipee!
I hope it won't be too busy, so guys: let me watch first...:p

[Bibulous]

Hope it's live, why do they hold these events and then limit the media's access?

[crees!]

its not working yet
That would be because we have another hour at least to wait for it. :rolleyes:

[Jesus]

I can't wait, great idea to have a live broadcast.

[cyberrob]

just can't you wait another hour for the stream


i'm so excited...

:cool:

[fenixx]

it says "Live Broadcast" when loaded in QT...

Why wouldn't it be live?

[ImNoSuperMan]

It was showing the wwdc event bout half an hour earlier

[viperguy]

The iTunes Music Store has been down for the greater part of the morning. The reason? iTunes Music Store will be rebranded as ‘Showtime’. Additional info:

* Welcoming of Media Members
* Discussion on iTunes software, iTMS integration into iTunes, and iTMS sales and facts.
* Announcement of iTunes version 7.0
* Announces better search feature for Music Store
* Announces Movie Store. Available Immediately will be movies from Disney and Pixar, among other studios.
* New iPod Nano Announcement (nice brushed casing, while it will have same features as first gen, only a longer battery life)
* New iPod Announcement (Widescreen, Bluetooth, and featuring virtual touchweel. Does not include Wi-Fi, or any other protocols)
* One More Thing….TubePort. A $99 2-piece set that includes a dongle that connects via USB to your mac, and another dongle that connects via included HD cables or regular Component cables to your TV. The movie is accessed on your Mac via an iDisk-like storage component hosted by Apple.

Frequent the Apple iTunes page for the download of iTunes 7 when it is made available. And after that, check out the Apple Store for product releases ;) uh

[chalkers]

I noticed

[MattDell]

Crap! My Powerbook battery will be dead before 1PM and I didn't bring my battery today! :mad:

[crees!]

So is this the link to streaming for the media? Just wondering 'cause that font is quite un-Apple like used for "Apple Special Event".

And the WWDC stream was probably used to test the live stream was indeed working properly.

[~Shard~]

Wow, if this is indeed live that's great! I haven't seen a live broadcasted presentation from Jobs in quite a while, probably since the last WWDC or MWSF which was done live a couple years ago.

[Lollypop]

iTMS is down, the apple store is down, and now possible live stream... can it get any better? LOL

[Agathon]

For some reason, one of the four ads at the bottom of the main Apple page is missing when I go there.

[n-abounds]

Well we can look forward to one thing after the announcement...People immediately speculating when the next update to the product line is...

:(

[thworple]

If it does end up being streamed "live" can you imagine the struggle everyone will have attempting to log on and watch. The drop outs on a non-live Apple event after they're posted is bad enough!

[berkleeboy210]

iTMS is down, the apple store is down, and now possible live stream... can it get any better? LOL

yup, only if the iPod widescreen and iPhone are what's up on the store, when it comes back! :)

[~Shard~]

iTMS is down, the apple store is down, and now possible live stream... can it get any better? LOL

I guess we'll find out in the very near future! ;) :D

[Pragmato]

the quality of the stream was quite high before the test stream went down. This is a screen capture of the test stream on cable earlier in phoenix.

That's one of the things we have to live with, being Apple fans. It's part of our Religion!

What are you talking about? :confused:

[narco]

I used to love the live broadcasts, I just hope it's nothing like the regular streams have been over the past couple years. As soon as the video is released, it's slow, chops up and pauses constantly. A solid stream will be nice.

Fishes,
narco.

[Motley]

Doesn't play in QT with me.
http://img56.imageshack.us/img56/9495/billede1ul7.png

Well there's your problem, the words before "pause" appear to be some sort of garbled mess, so the stream is obviously corrupted for you...


:D

[Jay42]

It all over CNBC at this point too.

[aswitcher]

Hey this is getting pretty exciting.

[cyclone84]

the Apple online store is also closed...

[chb]

I wanted to load the stream, but my quicktime player said, i've to update to QuickTime 7.1.3 first.... Does Quicktime 7.1.3 already exist?! I lokked at the Apple Website, and there was no update in the Software downloadsection.....

[conditionals]

Hey this is getting pretty exciting.

Oh yeah? Well I have Sour Worms and chocolate milk. THAT's exciting.

[guffman]

Well there's your problem, the words before "pause" appear to be some sort of garbled mess, so the stream is obviously corrupted for you...


:D


It isn't working becuase the freaking event hasn't started yet. Wow.... :rolleyes:

[pmppk]

Mine is showing 404 / Not Found in QT Player.

[Multimedia]

It all over CNBC at this point too.What's all over CNBC? Details please. This appears to me as if it will be a live stream. My player reads "Live Broadcast - Paused" :)

I wonder what Mac that is behind Phil? Looks like it could be the new Conroe Mac.

[rotatinglock]

Just a thought, not sure of the url.

http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/sep_2006/event/

Is this a typical url for apple.

edgesuite.net huuuuUUMM?

[berkleeboy210]

OK. CNBC just said Steve Jobs with Special Entertainment Guests should begin in about 45 minutes. !!

-- Also my Quicktime Stream is Showing - Live Broadcast - Paused.

[berkleeboy210]

Just a thought, not sure of the url.

http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/sep_2006/event/

Is this a typical url for apple.

edgesuite.net huuuuUUMM?

First time I've ever seen it.

[kskill]

what time does the event start?

[MoparShaha]

First time I've ever seen it.
Yeah, that's really suspicious. The page is not hosted on Apple's domain.

[Peace]

Like I've said before..edgesuite.net is an akamai file server.

[Draythor]

For up to the minute (literally) updates http://www.macrumorslive.com/

BTW: Does anyone elses live feed say not found? I'm running windows...traitor, I know.

[other]

Wow, if this is indeed live that's great! I haven't seen a live broadcasted presentation from Jobs in quite a while, probably since the last WWDC or MWSF which was done live a couple years ago.

I thought Jobs wasn't going to do the presentation today?

[ighal]

http://www.apple.com/itunes/mobile/

That page is still up, hence, no phone today.

[guffman]

What's all over CNBC? Details please. This appears to me as if it will be a live stream. My player reads "Live Broadcast - Paused" :)

I wonder what Mac that is behind Phil? Looks like it could be the new Conroe Mac.

That's just the Mac Pro that debuted at WWDC....

[ZLMarshall]

the Apple online store is also closed...

At least this means we're almost DEFINATELY seeing new hardware... though that's not new. Are all the international stores down? (Might be a hint of whether Apple's got this deal worked out for many countries?)

[mkrishnan]

Wait, what button do I click on my WiFiPod™ to make this stream play? I don't understand the new interface! :( ;)

[iMeowbot]

Just a thought, not sure of the url.

http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/sep_2006/event/

Is this a typical url for apple.

edgesuite.net huuuuUUMM?
Yes, that's totally normal for Apple. They had a decent-sized investment in that company (Akamai) at one time.

[macbwizard]

Yup, that's a legit address

Check out http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/aug_2006/event/index.html which is a link to the WWDC keynote.

A few digg comments have stated that edgesuite is owned by akamai who scales traffic for apple.

[carfac]

What are the improvements we will see with itunes 7.0? Will it just be compatibil;ity for movies?

[cal6n]

Wait, what button do I click on my WiFiPod™ to make this stream play? I don't understand the new interface! :( ;)

Just navigate to the top level and select "Connect". Scroll down to "Wireless" et voila!

:rolleyes:

[rotatinglock]

Just checking , thanks guys for the followup on that url.

[xxmo]

I'm so exciting~

waiting for days~!!!!! :D
I need a macbook to continue my study~!yeah~

[grouse]

time exactly is Show Time supposed to be?

Anyone know?

[Klut]

I hope Steve will talk about the MacBooks, talking about how well it has sold, and then say something like "which is why, we will uppgrade both MacBook and MacBook Pro"

That would be funky. :cool:

[guffman]

I'm so exciting~

waiting for days~!!!!! :D
I need a macbook to continue my study~!yeah~


well this event will have nothing to do with the macbook....

[carfac]

nevermind.

[guffman]

Anyone know?

dude take a look at the main page on macrumors - it would have been pretty easy to find out that it starts at 1 eastern

[aswitcher]

Yeah, all down.

[Draythor]

For anyone who keeps getting the error message in QT

"Not Found"

Just hit fast forward and it should display
"Live Broadcast-Paused"

[YoNeX]

Great, now the stream won't load because the servers will be hammered.

[n-abounds]

Well if Apple is introducing a Movie Store, I'd hope that they have enough bandwidth to host their own introduction event... ;)

[Goldfinger]

For up to the minute (literally) updates http://www.macrumorslive.com/

BTW: Does anyone elses live feed say not found? I'm running windows...traitor, I know.

Same here. I'm on XP Pro.

[Object-X]

If it does end up being streamed "live" can you imagine the struggle everyone will have attempting to log on and watch. The drop outs on a non-live Apple event after they're posted is bad enough!

Can you imagine the server farm they are bringing online to handle movie downloads right now? Racks and racks of Xservers. Maybe bringing Google's CEO on board is to get access to Google's new network. Perhaps Apple thinks they can now handel streaming an event of this magnitude live without the bottlenecks.

[zflauaus]

Hey everyone.

I'm in school right now. Does the MacRumorsLive.com work on cell phones? The only free time I get is at lunch when we can use our cell phones?

Thanks everyone.

[Draythor]

Same here. I'm on XP Pro.

Fixed! Hit fast forward!

[Yoursh]

Update: Macrumors main page switched over to Macrumorslive

[lewion]

Xp pro with quicktime 7 here :D
But i sure hope they do a MacBook update in the store
That would just make me drool :)

Really i would i dunno uhm i would become poor if i have to to get that MacBook :D but then again i have parents who will pay it for me because it was my birthday 3sept lol :D

[carfac]

Hey-

Probably s stupid question, but with all the members here... and, what, 300 apple stores, no one has seen what is in the back rooms or anything of the apple stores?

[guffman]

Same here. I'm on XP Pro.

sad :(

[lewion]

Hey everyone.

I'm in school right now. Does the MacRumorsLive.com work on cell phones? The only free time I get is at lunch when we can use our cell phones?

it only says how many minutes we still have to wait so i think it does work :)

[enigmatic2]

Can't imagine it would, since it's self-refreshing etc. Not totally sure, though. Why not try it now to see?

[ncoffey]

Well if Apple is introducing a Movie Store, I'd hope that they have enough bandwidth to host their own introduction event... ;)

Well they did buy that huge data center a while back. What was it called again? A "tier 4" something or another.

[guffman]

Hey-

Probably s stupid question, but with all the members here... and, what, 300 apple stores, no one has seen what is in the back rooms or anything of the apple stores?


They are shipped black wrapped, and the manager of the store has to authorize their being opened. So, generally, it's hard to get a leak that way.

[lewion]

Hey-

Probably s stupid question, but with all the members here... and, what, 300 apple stores, no one has seen what is in the back rooms or anything of the apple stores?
if they say something they get fired lol :d

[mactarkus]

I just got off a plane in Atlanta waiting for my connection so I paid the $6 to get wireless internet on my laptop just so I can see what the announcements are. Steve better make it worth my while!

[lizard79]

I can't wait, great idea to have a live broadcast.

i don't think it will be live...
their servers will not be able to handle the load..

[MattDell]

I thought Jobs wasn't going to do the presentation today?
So no iPod invisa? http://comfortablydumb.net/wtfbanana.gif

[ryanw]

It isn't working becuase the freaking event hasn't started yet. Wow.... :rolleyes:

In the past when I've seen these live they had music playing on the stream until it started... I've never seen this 404 issue before. I hope it works.

[Draythor]

I've just been messing about with the live stream and it went from "live Stream Paused" to "Connecting"! Here's hoping

[lewion]

[zflauaus]

I kinda can't because if we have our phones on during class, we get the phone taken away.

[iMeowbot]

Probably s stupid question, but with all the members here... and, what, 300 apple stores, no one has seen what is in the back rooms or anything of the apple stores?
There's also a piranha tank in each of those back rooms, and the fishies just love to snack on moles.

[Multimedia]

What are the improvements we will see with itunes 7.0? Will it just be compatibil;ity for movies?Like We've Already Seen The Event? :rolleyes:

[lewion]

what the hell are you posting with then just do it on that omg :D

[grouse]

dude take a look at the main page on macrumors - it would have been pretty easy to find out that it starts at 1 eastern


(whatever east time is, is that something in China? or Hoxton)

[lewion]

18 minutes peepz :D it better be good

[carfac]

Still, would it not be easy to see if the boxes were, uh, iMac sized, iPod sized, or Nano sized???

I am just amazed things stay secret so well....

[xxmo]

well this event will have nothing to do with the macbook....
now maybe i got it....

[briansolomon]

When does it all get started? I read 1 PM but what time zone was that?

Edit: Okay, 1 PM ET. Got it

[apachie2k]

so if i'm new york what time is this gonna start...thanks

[zflauaus]

what the hell are you posting with then just do it on that omg :D
I'm posting on one of the computers, I'm in Formatting with free time. Thank god.

[ryanw]

i don't think it will be live...
their servers will not be able to handle the load..

They used to do all the apple events live broadcast. The wwdc keynotes and the itunes ones.

[enigmatic2]

I kinda can't because if we have our phones on during class, we get the phone taken away.

Oh, I see. Bummer. :( Try hiding it under the desk. Or better still, say you have to go to the restroom. That was always my excuse for any urgent business during a lesson.

[lewion]

PEEEEEEEEEEOPLE 16 minutes omg READ !!!! omg

[Goldfinger]

sad :(
How is that ?

I just sold my PowerBook and I'm temporarily on an IBM ThinkPad T42. Untill I get my new 20" iMac (this Saturday) ;)

To be honest. That ThinkPad has an amazing build quality compared to my TiBook. It doesn't feel like it's going to break all the time.

[drumpat01]

My QT is giving me a 404 Not Found now. Maybe it is just the page where the video will eventually be posted and we just found it quickly.

[aswitcher]

Please yell of you get a stream working :)

[iGary]

I think the likelyhood of anyone connecting to the stream is about zero. :D

[lewion]

now maybe i got it....
wait wait something gets true me, maybe they update the stores while everyone watches the video live... so that in stores there will be new MB en MBP updates to talk about after the broadcast... just an idea its apple you know :D

[zflauaus]

Oh, I see. Bummer. :( Try hiding it under the desk. Or better still, say you have to go to the restroom. That was always my excuse for any urgent business during a lesson.
It's kinda hard to do that in band, which is next. I have like 5 more minutes on here.

[Jay42]

For anyone who keeps getting the error message in QT

"Not Found"

Just hit fast forward and it should display
"Live Broadcast-Paused"

its grayed out for me

[puttputt]

Still, would it not be easy to see if the boxes were, uh, iMac sized, iPod sized, or Nano sized???

I am just amazed things stay secret so well....


I'm pretty sure the box size is bigger than a Mini and smaller than at Mac Pro. And the price tag is $1499. (and it's not an iMac).

[MonkeyClaw]

Same here, its grayed out. It was working for me earlier but then I got this message :(

[mactarkus]

I would have skipped school today or at least come down with some food poisoning at lunch. Where's your commitment!

It's kinda hard to do that in band, which is next. I have like 5 more minutes on here.

[HecubusPro]

Live broadcast is paused for me. Should start up once the event begins.

Hmm.... Food poisoning at lunch. That won't help since it's at 12:45!!!!!

[daneoni]

Whew!, just re-organised/tweaked & enhanced my entire iTunes library out of boredom. So we have live streaming? that'll be awesome. Again thanks to MR for the live update. You guys rock.

[cal6n]

(whatever east time is, is that something in China? or Hoxton)

Sarffend, init?

[ryanw]

This isn't going to be a 'live stream'. Even the text says 'live-on-demand stream'. on-demand means you can watch it whenever you want. This is a stub for them to put the finished stream on once it's over.

Who found this link? It's not anywhere on the http://www.apple.com/quicktime/guide/appleevents/ page. So most likely someone ran into this link by mistake or was fed it by an insider, but it's not going to go live probably for at least an hour after the event is over.

That's my guess anyway, I could be wrong, but it doesn't feel like this link is going to work for a while.

[Multimedia]

so if i'm new york what time is this gonna start...thanksStarts 1 PM East

[drumpat01]

Hit fast forward

I cant hit forward, its greyed out. Next idea?

[enigmatic2]

It's kinda hard to do that in band, which is next. I have like 5 more minutes on here.

Too bad. If memory serves the last event was quite late starting, so you may be able to catch up with the exciting stuff (the first 20 minutes will probably be about sales figures and the new iMac anyway). Good luck!

[topherchris]

[HecubusPro]

It says "Live Broadcast" for me. Having worked in TV for the past 15 years, that usually means it's a live broadcast.

[puttputt]

No, silly. It's the "Mini Tower" thing.






(i hope)

No, silly. It's the "Mini Tower" thing.






(i hope)

LOOOL nono you got it all wrong.. it's the MacBook :)

there is NO mini-tower, thats just a dream made up by impossible-to-please apple fans.

agreed. and I think the whole live and transporting Steve from North America to Europe all in real time live live live is the point of it all anyway.
And tomorrow you'll be able to do the same thing from your comfy couch. just $1499.

[ryanw]

I found it by surfing their QuickTime site:

thats the iMac lol

it still shows up for me

[ryanw]

I think the likelyhood of anyone connecting to the stream is
about zero. :D

I'm right there with ya... I agree. 1 minute left, anyone seeing anything? Didn't think so..

[mactarkus]

For all past events, the streams were posted much later in the day and no link existed until then. This is different. It has to be a live stream because that's the only way Steve could skip the trip to Paris. On top of that, I don't want to spend my $6 for airport wi-fi for nothing.

Irrelevant unless your 15 years included admin'ing Quicktime Streaming Server.

Live Broadcast as stated before, says that for ALL streamed media, it is purely a stub for later.

Anyone else?

and it's $1499 right? Doubles as a computer probably too.

[crees!]

CNBC just CONFIRMED a Wireless Streaming Device!
I take you're getting this is off the television?

[ryanw]

Will it auto start?

Maybe in your dreams... this "live broadcast" should start about an hour or two after the event is over. AND most likely you're going to have to close down that quicktime window and start a new one.

[aswitcher]

CNBC just CONFIRMED a Wireless Streaming Device!

Proof please...

[MattDell]

CNBC just CONFIRMED a Wireless Streaming Device!
And that confirmation is nowhere to be found.

[rob5]

Live stream working fine here now.

[Lanman]

I just heard the CNBC comment as well.

[kellen]

Proof please...

off tv, they said that they have a reporter inside with his blackberry

[berkleeboy210]

Put on CNBC, They just came across with Breaking News on the TV, that said it was confirmed and that the video quality was Superb

[technicolor]

Will it auto start?
Looks like it wont be starting at all.

lmao

[crees!]

Let's get this streaming started! I planned my lunch accordingly. Don't let lunch get cold now!

[ruwi]

Apple stock going down, the news doesn't look great

[JoshH]

Let's get this streaming started! I planned my lunch accordingly. Don't let lunch get cold now!

Ha! Me, too... Come on streaming!

60% Brighter • Gapless Playback • 2 to 3.5 hrs • 4 to 6.5 hrs • New Heaphones

60GB $249 80GB $349 Today

All video encoded with h264 • Past resolution 320x240 • Now today 640x480

Allowing 640 x 480 H.264 on the iPod is HUGE • A Major Step Forward For iPod based Video.

Gapless playback in itunes7 is also the Holy Grail - esp for Classical Music Lovers

Looks like the Movie Store will only be 4x3 640x480 and NOT WIDESCREEN so that's a deal breaker for me.

Needs to be 640 x 360 H.264 to work for me. But if 640 x 480 is the new maximum pixel density allowed WITH H.264 on the iPod then this is HUGE anyway 'cause we can encode to that level with H.264 which will look a lot better than without it.

[MacNut]

Im not seeing any stream here.....

[Goldfinger]

Apple stock going down, the news doesn't look great
That doesn't mean anything.. :rolleyes:

[puttputt]

Apple stock going down, the news doesn't look great


and you probably typed that on a Dell....

[TJJ]

"Live stream working fine here now."

You're joking, right?

[Lau]

!!!!!!

Yes! Finally. Hope it's on the Nanos as well.

[mostman]

games?

[MattDell]

Games for iPod?


This already sounds disappointing...

[Jay42]

anyone get the stream going? I still have a 404 and everythings gray except for play.


EDIT: Well, doesnt look like new ipods are widescreen, but they sure are cheap!

[n-abounds]

and you probably typed that on a Dell....

The stock market gets its news before you do, guaranteed. AAPL stock is a great indication of the event.

[tivoboy]

yeah, no stream here in palo alto, ca. Not found on PC's 404 on macs

[technicolor]

please let these be available today

[AlBDamned]

Gapless playback is good news but oh dear, if new iPod "games" are the level of announcements - even at the beginning - then this is going to be a big, big disappointment of a keynote for some people... :p

[mostman]

So how is this matching up with the posted schedule from last night?

[MattDell]

C'moooon new Macbook Pros! No whammies! Poppa needs a new pair of shoes!



etc....

[conditionals]

These new iPods are THE AWESOME

[iGary]

Nothing here...

[Porchland]

!!!!!!

It's minor news, I guess, but I'm SOOOOOO glad to hear it. Now I can listen to "Before These Crowded Streets" and "OK Computer" without the annoying gaps!

[HecubusPro]

Gapless playback is good news but oh dear, if new iPod "games" are the level of announcements - even at the beginning - then this is going to be a big, big disappointment of a keynote for some people... :p

Start small, end big. Why would they want to start big and end small?

[kellen]

cnbc just confirmed new nanos, brighter screen (60%) and games on the nano.

Better be more

[RedTomato]

80GB iPod?

that's bigger than my top-of-the-range Powerbook brand-new 1.5 years ago...

[iGary]

These new iPods are THE AWESOME

:rolleyes:

Not until a new iPod is announced.

[crees!]

Ha! Me, too... Come on streaming!
Damnit! I'm blaming IT for this foul up. Too bad I'm not in bed with them.. they're just too ugly.. I can't do it.

[brepublican]

Is the stream working for anyone?? It's been 5 min and I'm still not getting anything...
:mad:

[Goldfinger]

Start small, end big. Why would they want to start big and end small?
Start big and end bigger ;)

[iGary]

Watch Apple CEO Steve Jobs deliver a special announcement from the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco. See the video-on-demand event right here exclusively in QuickTime and MPEG-4.

This is not going to be a live stream, folks.

[Ugg]

80GB iPod?

that's bigger than my top-of-the-range Powerbook brand-new 1.5 years ago...

Yeah, same here, but I guess you need space to store all those movies from the Movie Store...

[JoshH]

Strange nano color breakdown... :confused:

[ToddW]

so far these new ipods don't make me want another one yet
i will keep mine for awhile.

[daneoni]

erm 8GB Nano the same price as 60GB iPod and is 52% smaller??. How you gonna hold it

[iGary]

iLounge: 8GB is $249 in all colors
10:16 am iLounge: 4GB is $199 in all colors but black
10:16 am iLounge: 2GB is $149 in silver only


How stupid is that - this without this color, that with all colors...:rolleyes:

[QuarterSwede]

Just gives me a 404 (I suppose its full).

"iPod Shuffle is now 2nd generationl size of iPod Radio Remote"

[AlBDamned]

Start small, end big. Why would they want to start big and end small?


I know, but new iPod games, a new Nano case, some slightly bigger iPods and a video streaming device + the iTunes movie store? Well it's barely worth sitting here for. ;)

[puttputt]

The stock market gets its news before you do, guaranteed. AAPL stock is a great indication of the event.


Oh! I should sell my Apple stock!!

It is down 6 cents!!!!!!!! Oh my!

[Laser47]

I wonder why they reduced the price of the ipods by 50$, maybe to fit in the new video ipod?:D

[AlBDamned]

How stupid is that - this without this color, that with all colors...:rolleyes:


Apple upselling strikes again....

[mactarkus]

Smaller? How is that possible? Half the thickness I bet. It is the Invisa!

All models are 52% smaller in volume than previous nano. new charger, new
armband, new lanyard

[Jay42]

Ummm, the nanos got smaller?

[kellen]

nanos are 52% smaller in volume it says in another forum

[HecubusPro]

Announced at the event = 52% smaller? Wow. Might as well hang up my Shuffle now. :)

[bep207]

isnt 24 hour battery life pretty notable

[puttputt]

This is not going to be a live stream, folks.


ya know... I'm starting to believe you!

[daneoni]

Hear hear.

[brepublican]

Argh! What the hell is going on with the video feed?? Anyone?
:mad:

[ToddW]

nanos in colors and new shuffles, top x-mas seller already

[ruwi]

Analyst are always ahead and the stock market is always a step before the news. News isn't that great. nothing great at all

[n-abounds]

Oh! I should sell my Apple stock!!

It is down 6 cents!!!!!!!! Oh my!

I never said you should. It's just an indication of how the event is going. Apple stock is highly volatile and usually irrational.

[unsunder]

As i recall in the past before the actual "live broadcast" there would be a still with copyright info.

[Jay42]

I wonder why they reduced the price of the ipods by 50$, maybe to fit in the new video ipod?:D


Fingers crossed...there is still room on top of $350.

[iGary]

Argh! What the hell is going on with the video feed?? Anyone?
:mad:

It doesn't say "Live Feed" anywhere on that page. ;)

[Ish]

Smaller? How is that possible? Have the thickness I bet. It is the Invisa!

Next time round it'll be the Invisa-ble! And yes, I do know you don't spell it like that. :D

[bep207]

stock always goes up on rumors and down on news

and then up with profits

i think apple will see some significant profits this holiday season

[daneoni]

Colour variantion handling of the nanos are subpar in my opinion let all models have all colours. simple.

[HecubusPro]

So far, nothing for me to buy, though the new nano's, especially the 8GB is really damn cool.

[ChickenSwartz]

Announced at the event = 52% smaller? Wow. Might as well hang up my Shuffle now. :)


Keep away from the kids....might swallow it.

[puttputt]

try this one. it's not video, but it is with pics!

http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-its-showtime/

[whawhat]

Fingers crossed...there is still room on top of $350.

that's what i thought too - odd that they would lower it $50....

[conditionals]

Cover Arrrrrrrt

[SpookTheHamster]

Argh, 60 seconds is too long to wait! I want to seeeee them!

[ToddW]

itunes 7 looks like a promising upgrade. I like how each type of media will have its own library. syncing with the ipod should be better now.

[Porchland]

640x480 video content!! Now it's starting to get interesting!!

[mactarkus]

Yes,but they like to differentiate the models as you move up in price. Apple has a way of you leading you up to the most expensive model. Sold!

Colour variantion handling of the nanos are subpar in my opinion let all models have all colours. simple.

[ChickenSwartz]

"iTunes will give you cover art for free if you are missing cover art"

now that's sweet...free!

[fatties]

hmm i am quite tempted by the coloured metal nanos... it can replaced my 1st gen mini which is disintergrating quite quickly!

[iBeard]

there is NO live stream!
stop asking whats wrong with it...

[iGary]

steve Is Not Wearing A Black Turtleneck

[kellen]

new shuffle, size of matchbook. 1gb, 79$ out in october, according to cnbc

[Laser47]

That countdown timer, greatly builds the anticipation

[JoshH]

try this one. it's not video, but it is with pics!

http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/12/live-from-the-steve-jobs-keynote-its-showtime/

Thanks!

[conditionals]

Christ, this event is MELTING my mind. It is so awesome.

Auto cover art retrieval and browse by album cover.

[Porchland]

Album art view - Apple will provide art for any music in your library.

[mostman]

steve Is Not Wearing A Black Turtleneck

:p :p :p

[Josias]

Hmmmmm. Grifiin Technology are attending...

I think we're up for:
A new iCurve!

[AlBDamned]

Holy crap - NEWSFLASH - Jobs is wearing a shirt and not a black turtleneck sweater!!

[brepublican]

It doesn't say "Live Feed" anywhere on that page. ;)
Hmmm... much as I hate to admit, you may have a point there. Very sly Apple :mad:

[mostman]

Wonder if they will offer the better quality video of the tv shows already purchased? Maybe?

LOL.

[SpookTheHamster]

steve Is Not Wearing A Black Turtleneck


He looks so...wrong

[Agathon]

iLounge: you can now sync between multiple computers using an iPod, as long as both are authorized on the same account

Oh hell yes. Now this makes me happy.

[brepublican]

steve Is Not Wearing A Black Turtleneck
Wait, WHAAAT?? :eek:

Are you serious? Gosh, what next, Khakis instead of Jeans? Is it not even black atleast?

[ChickenSwartz]

CNBC must be sending messages out to their studio...faster than iLounge+interent slowness.

Something about NFL, I didnt see it all.

[ipacmm]

I guess it is a new look for him...maybe it is the new Intel look.

[kellen]

CNBC must be sending messages out to there studio...faster than iLounge+interent slowness.

Something about NFL, I didnt see it all.

Same here, saw apple and NFL together, but couldn't read it all

[HecubusPro]

iLounge: you can now sync between multiple computers using an iPod, as long as both are authorized on the same account

Oh hell yes. Now this makes me happy.

This is good news indeed. I'm stoked about what's being presented so far today.

[ImNoSuperMan]

steve Is Not Wearing A Black Turtleneck
OMZ. I worry if he is alrite...:p :p

[Cougarcat]

Oh dear, I feel sorry for Cover Flow. Apple even ripped the name.

[HecubusPro]

Okay, so nano isn't 52% smaller, just the packaging.
Yeah, who cares.

[Laser47]

nano packaging is 52% smaller?:confused:

[iGary]

If this is it (no new iPods) I will kill myself. :D
