Apple Media Event Quicktime Stream

[MacRumors]

Apple has posted a Quicktime stream of their Media Event today.

1,000 Songs in your pocket changed everything. Here we go again.

Watch Apple CEO Steve Jobs deliver a special announcement from San Francisco's Moscone West.
See the video-on-demand event right here exclusively in QuickTime and MPEG-4.

Steve Jobs introduced the iTunes/Motorola Phone, iTunes 5, and the iPod nano at today's event.

Call my ignorant, but what makes this not a keynote?

 

[corywoolf]

lame keynote, funny though!

 

[Aaon]

Yeah, really no replacement for the Keynote at the Expo. Still, I'll take it. I would like a little update on the state of the Mac though...

 

[fanbrain]

I'll stream it now. I've been wanting to see what the Nano looks like in real life.

You're going to stream yourself into an Apple store?

 

[Kobushi]

Woo Hoo! I finally posted something before MacRumors did:

No, wait. I don't want to be associated with the day iTunes became ugly.

uhh.... what??

 

[jackarmstrong]

Any way you can get a full file of it instead of it instead of the stream?? it won't work at my school

nah, Apple's pretty protective of anything Steve does. They'll only stream it.

Ha!

Rather boring keynote, but still fairly cool. I couldn't believe how anti-climatic it was for the introduction of 2 great new products. Weird.

Working for a Japanese company we have an open floor plan and my office has blinds that I never close so if I close them to relax and watch the QT steam people will wonder what is going on!

So, I have booked a meeting room and will lock the door for an hour and stream away...

I also HDD'd CNBC Asia last night at 3.00 am so have Sir Steve to look forward to when I get home!

These are specific members of the press. Hardly the fanatic faithful that frequent these type of events

yea it was boring and poor quality (at least mine was, the window was so small when i tryed to make it bigger steve looked all blurry and i'm not even drunk

 

[Daveway]

I thought it was great. I especially liked the Madonna part and Steve's profound use of adjectives when introducing the nano.

Hey. What's that Steves drinking?
I noticed he upgraded from a standard water bottle.

Thats strange. Its pretty good quality for me. 640x360 window and so far its been streaming quite well.

 

[iomar]

What? Why am I not getting any sound out of the key note.. never had this problem.

 

[Dr. Dastardly]

Anyone else think the Cingular guy is a total sleaze? Just reminds me of a used car dealer.

 

[mlrproducts]

Video is streaming poorly for me using the new Quicktime (yes I have set prefs). Just checked my 3Mbit line and its doing a full 2.5 in reality, so it shouldn't be on my end.

He did didn't he?

Relatively decent keynote. Not all that exciting on the crowds end for what was being said. On the whole it was good, but it was no MWSF keynote...

 

[macbaseball]

The quality is absolute crap for me. It's unwatchable. O well, hopefuly it's better later.

 

[Lacero]

I'm going to take a shower now and shave. Hopefully after my 2 cups of coffee, the demand will have died down enough so that I can enjoy a higher quality stream of this most awesome product announcement.

 

[hob]

I thought it was just my ISP being bad as usual, but no I'm guessing the Apple server is swamped... I've been trying to get on this stream for about 8 hours! The only half watchable version i got was through VLC!

 

[James L]

Quality from Apple's site is great for me. Watching full screen on a 15" PB... looks awesome!

I love the new QT.
