Possible Apple to live-stream Oct. 4 event?

I emailed Tim and asked him but he didn't respond.

 

Apparently they are streaming to an Apple store in Europe somewhere. Why wouldn't they try to stream it to everyone else?

Hopefully they will like how they did for the first iPad release, and only watchable on Apple products!

 

It was only watchable on apple products? really? heh.. didn't know that - but a live stream would be awesome

 

It wasn't only available on Apple products. It was streamed using HTML5.

 

That streaming event is for members of the press only. They've streamed to press in the U.K before, it was the BBC offices for the iPad 2 event, if i'm not mistaken.


I doubt there will be a stream for this, the last time they streamed an event was the "Back to the Mac" event in October 2010 and they've had to two events since then. I think those streams might have been done as some sort of preliminary stress test for the NC data centre.

 

I wish, but I think it's unlikely. Too many downsides and not enough benefits. Streaming the presentation wouldn't net them any additional sales, and it might cause bad press if the process doesn't go smoothly. Why would they risk it?

 

Well that's what I remember and I guess I got that wrong!? I kinda remember my dad couldn't watch it on his PC, and me on the other hand could on my iPhone and MBA!

Well NO cuz no mater what Apple always release the video on apple.com and itunes! So I don't think it will do any bad press and what not.

 

Slim to none. Even when Jobs did them, they rarely streamed them. Given that this will be Cook's first one, almost no way.

 

So Apple is setting up a livestream in a single store for select press in the UK only, and you think that's a sign that a livestream will be available to everybody?

 

Or it could be yes way. Tim Cook is not Steve Jobs. He may want it streamed as it is his grand opening.

 

Maybe. But a press conference is still a press conference regardless of who presents.

As a side, sometimes I worry that they won't even stream the event after the event is over. I think there were a few times this has happened. Now I am scarred for life and fear that I won't be able to watch, live or not after every event.

 

What sites is doing live blogging of this event?

 

Endgadget will.
