I'm guessing the way around that limitation, for time being, is to purchase on another device or through iTunes itself. Steve said you can stream from your computer (without needing to sync) so you then should be able to access and play purchased content. I am curious if the streaming is limited to itunes content only or any network content. That would be a big blow to boxee and a huge benefit to me.
Got a tip for us?

This sucks, I currently do 100% of my movie buying with the AppleTV, now i'm going to have to go back to buying DVD's and ripping them and get a Blu-Ray drive to start ripping HD.
Or buy them in iTunes on your computer.
Horrible, Horrible event.
****ing Nano is now going to die. Horrible small ass touchscreen. It's just a shuffle without buttons.
iPod Classic is a very upsetting thing. This is what brought Apple back to life.
iPod touch is the only bright spot in the event. Even so, the price points are not attractive.
Apple TV....no interest. BluRay wins and is still preferred.
iTunes? WTF? I want better performance not another socializing piece of ****. This is now iTwitterMusic.
Horrible Horrible Horrible. Steve Jobs even got mixed up with what is the nano and shuffle....

Just for you guys who dropped the stream when the live music started, Mr. Jobs just came back on stage, "Now for one more very big thing...."
The majority of users couldn't care less about specifications as long as it works.
iTunes 10 download should be up very shortly...they've already updated the iTunes page.

I doubt it. They would have mentioned it. Instead, they just said "HD" (read 720)
Yah... the new hybrid mode in iTunes looks kinda familiar.... See Attach..

It's the least we can do.
On the rest of the announcements: nothing Earth shattering, so it seems that the live streaming is probably here to stay rather than being a special exception?
I had to turn it off when Chris Martin started singing. He's SO OUT OF TUNE TODAY!
WTF!?
This + mistakes.
you clearly missed the 7 pages of people complaining that it cannot take photos only record video
Definitely not a fan of the new Nano, at all. Also, hope with iTunes 10 iTunes doesn't still blow on Windows.
EDIT: So the classic is discontinued?

Nope..no 1080p.
But I think I'm starting to get why.
With all the reliance on Airplay for pushing content from idevice to idevice, this is all wireless. You do NOT want to have millions of home users trying to stream 1080p content. It will look horrendous, and people will get furious because of the network problems.
720p logistically works.
