'iPad Mini' Media Event Also Streaming via Apple's Website

applemumba said:
1. New iTunes (seen it already, preview anyway. Hopefully they have monthly subscription model by now?)

2. New iMac (Twice as fast and Twice as thin, customers have been telling us we don't need the superdrive so we've taken it out!)

3. New iPad (Mini or another name they have some up with)

Quietly updated, current iPad with the lightning connection, macbook pro 13" now in retina display versions.

Is twice as thin thicker than the current model?

If you had a company would you cater to the competition? Apple is in business for a reason.

how is it catering your competition if you could reach 4 times as many people if they enabled the stream to work on windows. they are potential customers after all.
 
Great thing about being in the UK is that the event starts at 6pm our time!
Can settle down with some dinner and a beer!

:D

What the heck? First time I went to the streaming site, the "Live streaming video requires..." text included "...QuickTime 7 on Windows...". But now it's gone! Did I hallucinate or did anyone else see this?? :eek:

AHA, found it! There's some instant re-direct to the other page that doesn't include Windows. So weird...is this some sneaky stab at Windows or what? I turned off Adblock and everything, don't see why anything on my side would make it redirect.


Anyway, I managed to screenshot it before it redirected:

But I'm not going to install Safari on my PC just to watch an Apple event stream. Its another example of Apple being closed and attempting to force people to do things their way. Sometimes its okay and better, other times there is simply no reason for it. I believe this is the latter.

EDIT: Has to be on Mac OSX Snow Leopard or higher anyways. I don't have an iOS device at work (android phone), so I guess I'm SOL. Just have to make due with Engadget.

Their advertisements appear on my Samsung TV...:p

I hardly think providing an online stream to people who own windows computers would be catering to the competition..If they hadn't made iTunes for Windows, the iPod would have never taken off.
 
And it took this long to stream these events live......and only on their browser? :rolleyes:

I shall take a look because they never have them live.

Sorry Engadget, Verge, etc. Your value just went down today!

Ah ah ah! *Wags finger*

They now get a new lease on life as revloggers and commentators. Those with halfway decent speaking voices and the ability to restream to YouTube, Twitch, or other 3rd party service will survive as a new breed.

Worse, with Google+ an other multi-video/voice chats we can have nearly live panels. One person rebroadcasts from their Mac and X number of PC using friends can join the panel to provide snarky up to the "network latency" commentary.

It's like the transition from radio to television. The newsmen didn't die off, the pretty ones stayed on.

Let's draw the venn diagram of people who have 1) No access to ANY of this Apple-made technology and 2) Need to see this event in real-time and can't wait the 2 minutes it'll take the bloggers to re-type the information.

Is there a large crowd in that overlap?

Wrong. I have a Mbp ,ipad and an Apple TV. So have access. But I still don't think it's right they excluded windows users.

I don't have wifi at work so will I eat up data on LTE if I stream on my iPhone? Only have PC at work.

assuming its streaming in HD u'll run through it in no time depending on how much your data limit is

What do we think the data usage impact is gonna be if I stream from my iPhone? 2 GB plan here... :/

the last keynote as a podcast is 4 GB on iTunes, soooooo
 
Hoping to see somebody who is under the age of 50 on stage. Or in the audience - remember the "wooow"-man from the last presentation? I worry about Apple's image - 90% of the people you see presenting is old (not to mention white and male).

Long time coming! Hope it streams far and wide, i.e. countries other than USA. I am in Mexico right now.
