Satellite Broadcast of Apple Event

Damn...wish I had a Satellite now :mad:

Wow!

I'll be stopping work at 3 GMT then.

Will they be streaming it over the internet too?

It might be more than updated iPods... Perhaps the music-service is big enough for satellite broadcasting, but I have a feeling there is something more....

This BBC news link tells about EMIs decision to allow digital downloads of its artists' catalogues and the author expects there to be many announcements soon from resellers setting up download services.

I'm sure that the Apple service will be seamless when it is launched, but it is likely to be a tough market I would imagine. A nice new version of iTunes or a fancy new iPod could be just what it takes to make the Apple service the most popular.

I think the most interesting thing will be whether Apple makes this available to everyone, or just people using Macs, or even just people who have iPods. My guess is that it will be for Macs only, but you won't need an iPod.

We'll see on Monday. I hope someone will put up a minute by minute update somewhere, or better still a live feed to the web. Is that possible?

Gren: I think 10.00 Pacific Time = 17.00 GMT = 18.00 BST.

So it will be at 6pm here in the UK. Can someone confirm that please?We will have to wait all day to see whats coming!

I hope they stream it too. I had a rough time with streaming back in Jan. It kept cutting out, and clogging up, but I want to try it again.

I suppose you can play music on the Mac, but if I were at home I could just play my CDs. The iPod needs to be updated, and there needs to be something like iTunes for the PC to work with the service and the Windows iPods. The docking bay and USB2 interface will make the iPod much more attractive too. That's plenty of things to announce!

The "communicating device" is probably the Sony Ericsson P800 phone. (But if they want to announce a 970-based 15" AlBook that's fine with me! :-) )

I don't understand the 15" 970 rumors - as if!

why not a webcast, satellite what is apple thinking

is it even *possible* to think that apple may shock the world by announcing the 970 during this satellite feed?
