Apple to livestream its fall event

[markyr17]

Very nice :-D

 

[danielsamuels]

Open standards and yet they only specify Apple devices? I assume it will be viewable on other devices.

 

[FreeState]

Makes sense they would stream an announcement that details Apples plans of streaming media... just sayin'

Very Nicccee, back to the days when all events were live! Unfortunately, the difference between then and now is that I am an Adult and have a job, curses. Of course, the plus, I can use my iPhone, but only able to catch 30 minutes of it, maybe I can squeeze in a 45 Minute lunch break tomorrow.

I believe the last time this was done was 2003ish, could also be a push for a video streaming service announced tomorrow?

 

[SoraLimit]

hmm... it's weird though. No streaming provided for Windows?

Well, it gives me one more use for my old iPod until the new one comes.

Where on Apple's Website will they be broadcasting it?

You'll find a link on the homepage tomorrow.

This is why I shouldn't have scheduled any classes at 10am. Bah!

Of course, the first Apple media event that I've missed in nearly three years (I've conveniently been able to schedule my classes and/or work around the events so I could sit at home and watch the liveblogs) is the one they stream.

Any informed speculation on the availability of closed captioning?

 

[Slix]

Awesome!

Too bad I start school just before it starts... I'll have to wait 3 hours to watch it.
It'll be worth it though!

 

[Peace]

Wow.

I hope the Apple servers survive the crush tomorrow.

A hint of what's to come, perhaps?

So THIS is what the servers in NC are for...

BINGO !

 

[sineplex]

can i stream this on a pc at all ?
Don't you want me to cross over to the dark side ?

Viewing requires either a Mac® running Safari on Mac OS X version 10.6 Snow Leopard, an iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or higher, or an iPad.

 

[lewis82]

I'm soooo lucky... It's the only day of the week where I have no classes in the afternoon

 

[pittpanthersfan]

There's gotta be a delay. How else will they edit out any snafoos?

 

[dojoman]

Open format, but requires a Mac?

So, we can't watch it on Windows or Android devices?

If you don't have Mac or iPhone or iPad then why would someone have interest in such event? Kind of makes sense they leave them out.

IE8 won't do HTML5 video streaming.

You are the DARK SIDE!

 

[Sixtafoua]

NOOOOOOOOOOO IM GONNA MISS THIS BECAUSE ITS MY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL TOMORROW!?!?!?!?!

WHY COULDN'T THEY HAVE DONE IT TODAY?!?!?

 

[dlewis23]

It wouldn't surprise me if this is the test run for itunes streaming.

 

[adztaylor]

I bet Engadget are gutted. Gonna lose a lot of hits because of this.

 

[Eminemdrdre00]

IE8 won't do HTML5 video streaming.

But Safari and Chrome will...

And exclude their current media streamer, the Apple TV, from the compatible devices.

 

[marksman]

Awesome. Too bad I'll be in school at that time.

Finally!!! but i can't watch it I have school.

No iPhones?

Poor Bastages...

I kind of think it is cool that it is limited to Apple devices.. I do think this will tie into a streaming announcement.

pssh, I have Windows so I can actually play games. Doesn't mean I'm not interested in such an event as big as this.

 

[ajphares]

Open standards but Mac only? Give me a break. I have a MBP but won't be able to watch on the Windows machines at work. This is stupid.

 

[ruffdeezy]

I guess the liveblogs around will be more focused on commentary than what they are saying now. The playing field has been leveled for gizmodo.
