SmileyBlast!... LOL... I like it.


Do you guys suspect there will be a long line to snatch an iPad 2 (White 32GB 3G) up on the 11th or will I be able to stroll in around 7PM and get one no problem? Thanks.

as usual, the stream is pixelated, choppy, and constantly starts and stops (i have a 12 mb dsl connection). apple sucks at the internet.

Download the podcast and watch it from there. No issues.
 
Great to see that Steve was well enough to make an appearance and host it! Going to watch the podcast and see what I missed from the liveblogs :)
 
Was waiting for this. Couldn't have been better timed, was going to check their website.

The signal here is amazing. In fact, I was going to post my thoughts about the data center in the Carolinas being active, since I was expecting what you mentioned, but I am having a wonderful HD quality video.

good to see steve make an appearance. But im worried. He's still looking abnormally thin, if not thinner.

I'm thinking the White iPads will probably be really scarce. May be best to pre-order if at all possible.

Bummer. I was contemplating on paying a friend to stand in line to purchase one on my behalf.
 
Not sure if it's me, but Steve is talking really slowly, pausing a lot and looks like he's momentarily forgetting parts of his speech (he probably has teleprompters but that's what it looks like), like when he's summaring/listing the features of the iPad, he almost stops before saying 'Facetime camera'.

Yes - I think it is you...
 
After watching the stream:

Scott Forstall is definitely becoming a better presenter. He was far more natural and funny this time around. Looking forward to the iOS5 debut.

GARAGEBAND for iPad looks AMAZING!!! The presentation blew my mind. This has demonstrated the iPad's great potential as a powerful tool for content creation.
 
i think their going to create a huge mess with this release. No preorders!? can only order online on the 11th and wait or goto a store after 5pm? wow the crowds at the stores is going to be unbearable. dunno why their not allowing preorders and reserve for in store pickup. seems like they want there to be huge mobs. maybe since the verizon launch was handled so great yet people thought the product failed they probably want it to be a huge scene for this thing.

keynote was great tho. I was super excited to hear steve walked out earlier today so it was great to see it. Garage band looks pretty amazing as well.
 
11 minutes remaining. Wooop. Might start learning the piano on this. I said start...you know, just to familiarize myself with the basics. I don't expect to be a magical pianist any time soon.

Scott always looks stressed, but I agree this was his best performance.

Steve looked capable and not at all strained. I really do hope he lives for many years to come, even if it means not being at Apples helm.

Where the ******* are you, Irak? The connection is flawless and the video quality awesome on my 5MB DSL!
 
Great to see Steve doesn't look particularly thinner or sicker than usual. Actually he looks quite energetic :)

btw what's with the black sneakers?

Wow.........Millions of people are streaming this at the same time this guy is and he has the audacity to complain about pixilation.
