One has to wonder, given how recent of equipment and OS are required, how ready for prime time, streaming really is.

Apple thank you I have been waiting forever to do this!!! Hope it becomes a regular occurrence.
The QuickTime plugin for FF is 7.x compatible, not QuickTime X compatible, FYI.

1-new iPod touch with two cameras and retina display
2 - new iPod nano with touch screen UI
3 - apple iTv
4 - cloud based iTunes
5 - second coming of Jesus Christ
In that order.....
I already had that one.
iLife '11 is also a point which could be on the list, at least to be previewed.
I guess the event is going to be big news if Apple decided to stream live, maybe something unexpected is going to happen.
I'll probably be available as a Quicktime video after the event.
There are screen capture tools for the Mac which record video. If you create an Automator task that opens up Safari on the Mac and goes the URL where the stream will be, you can then have the capture tool [if it supports Automator] set to record the stream for you and cut it off after 2 hours. Then, when you're home, you can sit back and watch it.
Or wait for Apple to post it on their website.

It's not using the QuickTime browser plug-in but opens the installed QuickTime (X) Player.
Good news: VLC v1.1.3 – available for Windows, Linux and Mac – can open this HTTP Live Streaming demo: http://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/gear2/prog_index.m3u8
which is basically the raw URI taken from the video element in one of the demo files.

not gana have two cameras, you would be lucky for one.
Well, those new server farms Apple bought must be used for something if they don't send iTunes up into the cloud tomorrow.
No, Firefox uses QuickTime 7 technologies for its Plugin:

It does, but the livestream requires QuickTime X which only runs on 10.6.x Snow Leopard, or iOS 3.2 or higher.

you're screwed. it's 12pm WI time
don't see why it won't work on your iMac. It comes with quicktime x. re-install quicktime x
thanks for the reply, i did try that; reinstalled during last event; did not work out.
i did not bother because downloaded the event video in iTunes, but with this error i will miss out live broadcast tomorrow.
can other help?
Are you using Snow Leopard or Leopard? This only works on Snow Leopard [10.6], not Leopard, 10.5.

EDIT: Noticed you have an iPad and iPhone - you can watch it there too. The iMac should be running 10.6, so it should work on that, but it may not on your MacBook if you're running 10.5
I agree, I really don't think the iPod Touch is getting two cameras. They probably figure that most people have cameras on their cell phones that take pictures. I think we're only going to see a front facing camera (for Facetime and Apps).
I'd be shocked if they show off an iPod with a back camera tomorrow.
Maybe I'm wrong, we'll all know the truth tomorrow! Can't wait.
