[pimentoLoaf]

Anybody got MacMall (or some other) ready in another browser tab in case the iPod Classic is discontinued?

 

[Nicolas4ever]

I check the hour every freaking minute... im getting echited haha.

 

[andalusia]

Very excited. I still don't understand why they don't do a live stream, does anyone have an explanation for this?

They can't afford it.

 

[shartypants]

Is it Wednesday yet? YES!!!

 

[Locoboof]

Lol... Anyone els remembers when MR sent out text messages for updates from the keynote? That was cool.... My phone going off every 34 seconds

 

[naeS1Sean]

With the exception of the enthusiasts, who is going to cover the cost of broadcasting it? Besides, the video is launched the next day on apple.com. The important stuff is detailed in the live blogs. It's a media event, not reality show.

As i say at every Keynote

Let the Bloodbath begin

i am so ready to hand over the hard earned

Samesung power up the copying machine

for life

 

[Undecided]

What, Gizmodo didn't get an invitation?

 

[Wayfarer]

In before...

"shut up and take my money"

"so much for doubling down on secrecy"

"Steve never would have allowed this."

"but is Safari snappier?"

"wtf, it's the same as before but taller... Apple is doomed"

The Verge is my favourite.

Here is a live stream to the event, not sure if its real but its a start

Does the shutdown of the Apple online store indicate that pre-orders will take place today and not Friday?

There's no technical limitation on why they don't. Apple Inc. can easily afford the bandwidth and servers.

Simply put, they don't want to. It's a private event for a hand-selected group of tech media.

It's not a football match.

Does the shutdown of the Apple online store indicate that pre-orders will take place today and not Friday?

Nope.

Nothing can be surmised from the online store closure. They close it every time they have a live product announcement, regardless of whether or not that product will be immediately available for sale or if a pre-order scenario is imposed.

It's been like this for years.

Do you think Tim gets nervous before these massive announcements?

 

[ihuman:D]

Today we will also see a new Mac Pro, not only the iPhone 5 as you can see in the image are updating the website for the new Mac Pro.

No, if you click 'Buy now' on any product page that happens.

They show the pictures and comment on them, they don't have a live video.

 

[Born Again]

The verge is the best IMO

Also Tim is pretty stale on presentatiOns

 

[pmas76]

Does the shutdown of the Apple online store indicate that pre-orders will take place today and not Friday?

I was thinking the same thing. I assume they "shutdown" the apple online store before each event regardless of availability of new products?

Does anyone have information based on history?

My daughter wants a new iPod touch. The 4th gen will be fine for her. I have a 32GB one in my bestbuy.com cart right now. Waiting for the price of it to drop!

 

[sulpfiction]

I love the hour or so before an event. It's the adult equivalent of that childhood Xmas eve feeling.

 

[Supermule]

What about the usaul email-signup for "Spoiler-free" video of the event??

Strange no mention of iMore - one of the most popular and well run Apple blogs.
